Fray Garcia de San Francisco - El Paso, Texas

Fray García de San Francisco - El Paso, Texas - "The Mission Grape" del Monumento a Fray Grada. El artista coloca rosarios de arcilla al lado del crucifijo. El diseño de los Crucifijos proviene de una pequeña cruz de oro franciscana del siglo XVI rescatada de un naufragio en el Caribe. HECHOS MONUMENTALES   ·El bronce de 14 pies de alto es más del doble de la altura de una persona y ocho veces el volumen. • Bronce hueco (como un conejito de Pascua de chocolate), con paredes de bronce de un cuarto de pulgada de grosor y refuerzo de acero, y pesa 1 1/2 toneladas. • El monumento se amplió en un año desde el modelo de 31 pulgadas de altura hasta la ampliación de 14 pies de alto y tardó 5 meses en fundirse en bronce. • El bronce fundido de la estatua, cuando fue derramado, era más caliente que la lava: 2.200 grados Fahrenheit. • Las uvas de la misión son del tamaño de los huevos de gallina. • El rosario de García tiene 80 cuentas, cada una del tamaño de una pelota de golf. • La nariz de Fray Garda mide 5 pulgadas de largo. • Las sandalias franciscanas son del tamaño 25EEEE.
