Obviously, to get into a church, you have to go through a door. Here’s the set of doors at the entrance to The White Dove AKA Mission San Xavier del Bac near Tuscon, Arizona. If you missed the two posts I did on the mission on Monday and Tuesday, the links are at the end of this post. As the mission might have, at times, need to be defended, strong wooden doors were a great ideas as well as being attractive.
Look to the left after entering and you’ll see another wooden door leading to who knows where and with a bonus gate. 🙂
To the right was a faux door with a faux bar and faux lock. Nicely done!
That’s it for today’s episode of Thursday Doors, hosted by Father Dan. Have pictures of doors? You’re welcome to join, Just click on the highlighted link above. Just interested in doors? Do the same and then click on some of the links you’ll find there.
My Monday post is here, the follow-up Tuesday post here. For a virtual 360 degree look at the mission, click here. The virtual look is beautiful, well worth the less-than-a-minute it takes, and no scaffolding!
This, that and the other thing 
Amen sister Janet 😂

Some cool doors, Janet
Thanks, Amanda. I’m glad you liked them.
I’ve been ordained? Wow! These are great doors, Janet. The top one certainly is a great example of a sturdy door.
I think you got your degree online, but who cares? 😉
Haha!
Old western doors have a special look! Good choices, Janet.
Thanks, Frank. The sturdy doors fit well with the building materials and the depth of the walls. And they look great!
Love those heavy, hand-carved old doors, and the fake door is interesting!
I’m not sure why that fake door is there, perhaps to balance the real door on the other side.
Love that last door photo. What fun
It’s a pretty good-looking fake door, isn’t it?
The front doors look so sturdy still for being so old. The faux door is pretty cool.
As faux doors go, it’s pretty nice and the front doors are in very good shape yet. Attractive too.
Hi Janet! I found your blog through Jodie’s Touch of Style.

Hi, Nancy. It’s a beautiful place and worth making a trip to Tucson as I mentioned yesterday. So much else to do there too. 😊
Hi Janet – great doors and the opening photo has the two doors – opened and with the light – very cool
