The name comes from a fairy tale about a girl name Barbara who was beheaded by her father for following the Christian Faith. The mission be founded on December 4, 1786.
Mission Santa Barbara's name comes from the fairy tale of Saint Barbara, a girl who was supposedly beheaded by her father for following the Christian Faith. The impulsive missionaries built three different chapels during the first few years, each larger than the previous one. It be only after the great Santa Barbara Earthquake on December 21, 1812, which destroyed the existing buildings, that the construction on the current Mission be begun. It be completed and then unswerving in 1820. The towers be considerably damaged within the June 29, 1925 earthquake,but were subsequently rebuild. The appearance of the inside of the church has not be altered significantly since 1820.
Maybe Santa was buried in that when he died.
I guess that is surrounded by Mexico.
