Photograph of an interior view of the Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, May 12, 1893. Approximately 35 people kneel in the pews in dark clothing with their heads bowed. Several men in robes perform the ceremony at a long table in the front of the room with flowers and crosses at hand. Several more people kneel at the front of the room next to chairs on the far left and right. A small, wooden rail with a swinging gate separates the alter area from the congregation.
