Stained Glass Window San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral in San Antonio, Texas

The origin of the name "Tejas" or "Texas" comes from the Spanish pronunciation of a Hasinai Indian word meaning "friends" or "allies."
On March 9, 1731, the construction of the first cathedral that took the name of San Fernando marked the birth of the first municipal government of the state of Texas and one of the oldest in the United States. Around that church, the town of San Fernando de Béxar was born, and later became what today is the city of San Antonio. The San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral is relatively simple compared with others built by the Spaniards in their colonies.
But San Fernando Cathedral is more than a just a historical milestone which understandably makes any Texan really proud. It is a house of God, a temple which gathers all Catholics under the same roof and welcomes all who want to find refuge.
