"Mission Concepcion: Legend says Rebecca,  an angel of mercy appeared near Mission Concepcion to save a Mexican soldier named Santos. In possession of a good luck pecan,  he later saves her betrothed only to die in Santa Anna's final assault. So, the story goes that ""when the sun is setting and the sanctuary is deserted,  a spirit appears and tosses a pecan into the room where Jim Bowie died — in memory of Santos.""
