The cathedral was built by Archbishop Jean Baptiste Lamy between 1869 and 1886 on the site of an older adobe church, La Parroquia (built in 1714–1717). An older church on the same site, built in 1626, was destroyed in the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. A fictionalized account of the cathedral's origins is included in Willa Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop.

Faith is like a bright ray of sunlight. It enables us to see God in all things as well as all things in God. St. Francis de Sales

While in Melbourne recently, I was fortunate to meet an amazing man who inspired this painting. His name is Zaugustaz, and if you are a regular to the city you may even know him. He is a very colourful character and dresses accordingly. Zaugustaz is a beautiful person who loves you to stop and chat. He has a small suitcase with him, containing his paraphernalia of the day.... his art books, his memorabilia and his paintings, which he will proudly show to you. His main home is on the streets and he has been living this way for 50 years. When I met him I immediately thought of St Francis.
