St. Francis is the most important icon of Santa Fe and its surrounding areas. Two major American towns were named for St. Francis of Assisi: San Francisco, California and Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 1610, when Don Pedro de Peralta founded the site for Philip III of Spain, the official name was “La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Assis” (The Royal Village of the Holy Faith of St. Francis of Assisi). The cathedral in Santa Fe, at the east end of San Francisco Street, is the Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi. (Additional information regarding the details of the composition can be found in the Blog section in the entry for 13 March 2011)
