notes:
Born in Spain, Sebastián de Aparicio traveled to Mexico where he made a substantial fortune building roads and the carriages or carts to carry goods on the roads. At age 70, he joined the Franciscan order and was known as the Angel of Mexico. He was beatified in 1787. The eagle perched on a cactus was a sign to the wandering Mexica or Aztec tribe of the site where they were to build their city of Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City.
