Close look at Mission San Xavier's intricate entrance reveals surprises
Art conservators found something staring back at them when they climbed the scaffolding last month to study the façade of Southern Arizona’s most famous church.
As it turns out, the doomsday mouse at San Xavier del Bac has round, metal nails for eyes.
That was news to Tim Lewis and Matilde Rubio, who have worked on artwork at the mission for decades.
“We never noticed that before,” Lewis said. “That’s what we like about this work: It’s never boring. Even as long as we’ve been doing it, we still get surprised.”
