In the late eighteenth century, after the expulsion of the Jesuit Order from the Pimería Alta, the Franciscan missionaries who replaced them built a new church at the native settlement of Wa:k (Bac), near Tucson, Arizona. Despite rivalry between these orders, the Franciscans retained the Jesuit name of the place, San Xavier del Bac, and moved the sculpture of the titular saint, Francis Xavier, from the high altar of the old church to that of the new church. In the Catholic Church, the high altar was the conventional location of the titular saint and a second image of the saint could be featured on the church façade. However, photographs of the Bac façade reveal the image of the founder of the Franciscan Order, Francis of Assisi, in the honored facade position. This essay reviews the historical situation that led to this unconventional juxtaposition of saints, and explores the logic behind the Franciscan retention of Jesuit components in their iconographic program.

圣萨维尔德尔巴克的两个圣徒的故事

18世纪末，耶稣会士令被皮梅里亚-阿尔塔（PimeríaAlta）驱逐后，接替他们的方济各传教士在亚利桑那州图森附近的瓦克（Bac）居住区建造了一座新教堂。尽管这些命令之间存在竞争，但方济各会主义者保留了耶稣会教堂的名称San Xavier del Bac，并将名义上的圣徒Francis Xavier的雕塑从旧教堂的高坛上移到了新教堂的高坛上。在天主教教堂中，高大的祭坛是名义上圣人的惯用位置，在教堂正面可以看到圣人的第二张画像。但是，Bac立面的照片显示了方济各会的创始人弗朗西斯·阿西西（Francis of Assisi）在尊贵的立面位置上的形象。
