The site of the first parish Mass in North America (north of Mexico), celebrated, as we saw in last month's column, on Sept. 8, 1565, was ever after regarded with reverence by the residents of Spanish St. Augustine. Over 200 years later, in 1769, a cartographer named Juan José Elixio de la Puente executed a detailed map of the city and environs. Where the 204-foot high Great Cross stands today Puente wrote:

Place called Nombre de Dios (Name of God),
which is the same where the first Mass was said
on September 8, 1565…and afterwards an Indian
mission was built there, with a chapel in which
was placed an image of María Santisima de la Leche.

What happened in history in 1491 in North America?

In North America, nothing. Columbus has been said to have discovered 'America" in 1491, but that was basically only the Caribean islands and a few spots on the coasts of Middle and South America. The (east) coast of North America was first mapped and explored in 1497 by an expedition financed by a British/Welsh merchant called Richard Amerike.
