Cross Of The Martyrs

One of the things we talked about while doing Lick. Slam. Suck. was a monument known as The Cross Of The Martyrs.  During the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, 21 Franciscan Friars died in the fight between the natives and the Spanish.  This cross is in honor of the sacrifice they made.  It’s something that was on my list to see.  Thankfully Poppy, Karl, Geeky, Sarah, and Ren joined me on this trek.

The walk up the hill starts simple enough through this gateway…

… and then you proceed up a winding path…

Marching Up To The Cross

… and some more winding path…

Looking Up At The Cross

… and it’s a cross.

Examining The Cross

I know.  Big surprise there.  But I do have to say that it is a cross with a killer view…

… which made all that climbing worth it.

That was our trip to the Cross Of The Martyrs.
