The San Gabriel Mission was primarily made of adobe bricks, which are a mixture of mud, straw, and water. These bricks were then used to build the walls and structures of the mission.
Mission San Gabriel is a Franciscan Mission established by Father Junipero Serra on Sept 8, 1771 near the present town of Montebello in California. Father Pedro Cambón and Father Joseph de la Somera assisted in the founding of the Mission. Mission San Gabriel was one of the wealthiest missions of the time. In it were planted crops of wheat, beans, corn, and vineyards. The missionaries also raised cattle and sheep. Most of the soap and candles used in other missions were made in Mission San Gabriel.
Priests at Mission San Gabriel used a system called the Spanish mission system to convert and control Native Americans. They offered food, shelter, and protection in exchange for labor and conversion to Christianity. While some Native Americans were coerced into joining the mission, others volunteered to escape violence or seek better opportunities.
The bells at the San Gabriel Mission were used to call people to worship, mark the time, and communicate important events in the community. They played a significant role in the daily life of the mission and were an important symbol of the mission's presence in the surrounding area.
