About Wooden Cross

Wooden Cross

On the corner of Martinez Villenea is a Jigüe tree. The cross under its shadow is where on Christmas in 1513 Fray Juan de Tesin said the first mass in Trinidad. Shortly afterwards, the first church was built on the hill over-looking the town. This plaque beside it attests to that momentous event.
