![]() ![]() David Garcia, who served as pastor of the church, said it’s likely a moon, representing Mary being over nature. Perez believed that the famous painting of the Assumption of Mary shows Mary standing on what appears to be an annular eclipse. One of the more famous examples is the illumination of the church floor during the Feast of Assumption. Some believe they were used to encourage the native population to convert to Christianity, while Perez believed the Indigenous people were leaving their mark an understanding of the skies. ![]() According to Perez, you can see references to an eclipse in Mission Conception’s construction. Built in the 1730s at the direction of the Spanish missionaries, the influence of the indigenous people is evident by ties to celestial events. Perez also believed proof of that exists today within Mission Conception. ”It’s those algorithms they developed with the way they counted that they were actually able to predict these eclipses,” Perez said. In fact, Perez believed they were so advanced in their understanding that they were able to do something extraordinary. ”The stars in the skies and the planets reinforce our beliefs about who we are and what we’re here to do on earth,” Perez explained. They developed a deep understanding of their world. What the Indigenous people of the area saw, they documented, without telescopes and computers. “We don’t do that anymore, and we should be.” Perez said his ancestors would often look to the skies. ”They of course would have been overjoyed, overwhelmed to be standing in shadow,” said Gary Perez, who represents and studies the Indigenous cultures of South Texas and northern Mexico. The annular eclipse in 1737 must have been a sight to behold (keeping in mind they likely learned quickly not to look directly at the eclipse.) ![]() At that point and time, San Antonio was just a fledgling community comprised of Indigenous people and Spanish missionaries. Total solar eclipses that passed over San Antonio are far more rare, last occurring in 13! Advancements in science allow us to know they are coming, but imagine living in the 1700s. We do know, based on documentation and math, that San Antonio was in the path of an annular eclipse in 1673, 1683, 1737, 1831, 1919, and 1940. Lifeguards can give you advice on waves if you’re planning to go into the water.Eclipse frequency over a certain location is complicated and erratic due to all the factors involved.
