Don Juan Forster likely purchased the saddle in the 1850s, and the saddle stayed in the Forster family\u2019s possession until the 1970s when Jerome Forster (1933-2012) placed it on a loan to a Smithsonian Institute exhibit about western saddles in North America, and thereafter graciously placed it with Mission San Juan Capistrano for its collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This beautiful Californio-style saddle demonstrated Don Juan Forster\u2019s wealth. Like other Californios, he used his large landholdings to raise cattle and became wealthy by trading hides and tallow with English and American merchant ships. In 1845, Forster purchased Mission San Juan Capistrano at auction from his brother-in-law, then Governor Pio Pico for a mere $710. For 20 years, Forster and his family called the Mission home (1845 to 1865) until is was determined that control of the Mission should be returned to the Catholic Church. Visit the Mission Treasures exhibit to view the Forster Saddle, open daily from 9:00 a.m. &#8211; 4:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><strong>Forster Map<\/strong><\/strong><br>In 1845, Pio Pico, Mexico\u2019s last California governor, attempted to generate revenue by ordering all the remaining mission buildings and lands to be rented or sold. Pico sold the available Mission San Juan Capistrano lands, valued at $55,000, in 1846 to his brother-in-law John \u201cDon Juan\u201d Forster, along with another Englishman, James McKinley, for $710. John Forster and his wife Isidora made the Mission their home for over 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln issued proclamations restoring California Mission lands to the Roman Catholic Church, however, this 1875 map shows the three tracts of land at Mission San Juan Capistrano confirmed to the holdings of Juan Forster and James McKinley.

This vessel served to connect the parishioner with Christ as the priest consecrated the wine and delivered the formal ceremony. By sharing the chalice among the parishioners, the priest not only connects the worshipper with God but also symbolically unites the congregation as the body of Christ.

According to Reverend Arthur A. Holquin, the Pastor\/Rector Emeritus&nbsp;of Mission San Juan Capistrano, the word \u201cchasuble\u201d is derived from the \u201cLatin word \u2018casula,\u2019 which means \u2018little house,\u2019 since its older form completely enveloped the body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chasuble, the outermost liturgical garment that covers the priest\u2019s torso, represents God\u2019s love and protection, investing the priest with divine significance. Worn around the neck is the stole, a direct symbol of the cross and Christ\u2019s sacrifice, signifying the priest\u2019s authority and ability to pardon sins. Also included is the maniple, an embroidered silk band worn on the left wrist which served to wipe away the priest\u2019s perspiration and tears, similar to a handkerchief. Though not commonly used today, this highly decorative garment matches the chasuble and often displays a high degree of ornamentation. Finally, the orphrey band, worn over the chasuble, features an image of a cross, symbolic of Christ\u2019s crucifixion and subsequent resurrection; it usually depicts a Biblical scene in highly ornate embroidery, and its weight symbolically reminds the priest of his obligation to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular vestment illustrates a passage from the Book of Revelations (Rev 5:1): a \u201cLamb of God\u201d rests on seven gold seals, decorated with gold and silver embellishments to enrich the garment. Roman in style, its characteristics can be traced to the period of the Blessed Junipero Serra, though its original ownership remains uncertain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"737\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.missionsjc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/vestment-737x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1720\" style=\"width:369px;height:512px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.missionsjc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/vestment-737x1024.jpeg 737w, https:\/\/www.missionsjc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/vestment-216x300.jpeg 216w, https:\/\/www.missionsjc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/vestment-768x1067.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.missionsjc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/vestment.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Vestment circa 1770s<br><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Tabernacle<br><\/strong>Ornate in form but simple in function, this 18th century tabernacle features intricate carvings and vibrant paint to distinguish it from the other liturgical objects in the church.
