A fictionalized account of the cathedral's origins is included in Willa Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop. Due to its prominent location off the plaza, many artists who have lived or worked in Santa Fe have captured its image in their work. Edward Hopper painted Saint Francis' Towers, Santa Fe during his 1925 trip to the city.^[8] The cathedral can also be seen in the photographView from La Fonda Poolside by photographer Nicholas Nixon.^[9]

Willa Sibert Cather died in Manhattan, New York, on this day in 1947 (aged 73).

“The old man smiled. 'I shall not die of a cold, my son. I shall die of having lived.”
―from "Death Comes for the Archbishop" by Willa Cather

Willa Cather’s story of the missionary priest Father Jean Marie Latour and his work of faith in the wilderness of the Southwest is told with a spare but sensuous directness and profound artistry. When Latour arrives in 1851 in the territory of New Mexico, newly acquired by the United States, what he finds is a vast desert region of red hills and tortured arroyos that is American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. Over the next four decades, Latour works gently and tirelessly to spread his faith and to build a soaring cathedral out of the local golden rock—while contending with unforgiving terrain, derelict and sometimes rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. DEATH COMES FOR THE ARCHBISHOP shares a limitless, craggy beauty with the New Mexico landscape of desert, mountain, and canyon in which its central action takes place, and its evocations of that landscape and those who are drawn to it suggest why Cather is acknowledged without question as the most poetically exact chronicler of the American frontier.

When the Cathedral bell tolled just after dark, the Mexican
population of Santa Fe fell upon their knees, and all American
Catholics as well.  Many others who did not kneel prayed in their
hearts.  Eusabio and the Tesuque boys went quietly away to tell
their people; and the next morning the old Archbishop lay before
the high altar in the church he had built.
