Interesting history, here, too, Taz. Hidalgo, priest of this church, was the father of Mejican Independence. This sign is done in ceramic tile, the major product of Dolores Hidalgo.
Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla was a Mexican Catholic priest. On September 16, 1810, Father Hidalgo rang the church bell to announce revolution against the Spanish. Indians and mestizos marched with Hidalgo and captured major cities but were halted at the gates of the capital. Hidalgo fled north but was caught and shot in 1811. The anniversary of his call is celebrated as Mexico's Independence Day.
