"If I were going to convert to any religion, I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female saints and the Virgin Mary." - Margaret Atwood (Canadian)
The church of San Jose (known in Mazatlán as a "temple"), located on a rise of land at the foot of an area called Icebox Hill, is said to be the oldest church in the city, built in 1837 and completed 5 years later. The beautiful mosaic background and statues form a side altar in the small church, and the bottom photo is the main altar, made of wood.

Those Latin Catholic churches do love to (over)use the gold tones, don't they? :)
Perfect choice for today's theme and happy April! Hope you don't get fooled.
The photos are very nice Kate.
this is beautiful!
Happy April!
Beautiful photo Kate ... no need to convert to Catholicism ... without conversion, you can attend mass to enjoy the trappings, ritual, and female saints ... when visiting my relatives, back in Texas, I often would attend a Catholic mass with my mother-in-law and then go to a protestant church service with my mother ... of course my reason was to be with those I loved however at the same time I enjoyed the experience.
How absolutely beautiful, Kate. Yellow gold. Wonderful choice for today.
What a great choice! It is a lovely choice. Happy theme day to you and thank you for sharing all the beauty in your winter home.
The first shot is fantastic!
Great yellow!
Happy April!

Classical yellow. Excellent choice :)
Love the photo. Could look at her all day!
That's stunningly beautiful
I think easier to enjoy the art without the religion
Beautiful shot Kate. You are so lucky to travel to such wonderful places.
Lovely statue & I just love the mosaic tiles in the background.
