Spanish Moss - Symbol Of The South

There are many different stories and interpretations about Spanish Moss and how it evolved. Most literature surrounding Spanish Moss are romantic. Here is a sample poem about Spanish Moss:

"There's an old, old legend, that's whispered by Southern folks,
About the lacy Spanish moss that garlands the great oaks -
A lovely princess and her love, upon their wedding day,
Were struck down by a savage foe amidst a bitter fray;
United in death they were buried, so the legends go -
'Neath an oak's strong, friendly arms, protected from their foe;
There, as was the custom, they cut the bride's long hair with love,
And hung its shining blackness on the spreading oak above;
Untouched, undisturbed, it hung there, for all the world to see
And with the years the locks turned grey, and spread from tree to tree."

Stained Glass Window Saint Augustine Preaching

In 1786, the Spanish crown ordered the construction of a parish church for St. Augustine, Florida. The cornerstone was laid in 1793 and the church was completed and dedicated in August 1797. The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine is the oldest parish of a permanent European settlement on the North American continent north of Mexico.

Twelve stained glass windows set forth the story of the wonderful life of the cathedral's patron saint, Augustine, after his conversion. The stained glass window in this photograph depicts 'St. Augustine preaching.'

The Florida sunshine attracts many visitors to this St. Augustine, but it's the stained glass of its beautiful buildings that adds a colorful dimension that all visitors to St. Augustine can enjoy.
