Dec 23-El Santuario de Chimayo

We visited Chimayo, New Mexico to see this famous sanctuary.



Chimayó is known throughout the region and internationally for its privately-built chapel, the Santuario de Nuestro Señor de Esquípulas.

Soil from a hole in the sanctuary's dirt floor is considered holy by some, capable of bringing about miraculous cures of ill health through the practice of geophagy.



Funny note: Emi noticed a modern drawing of Jesus and said that "that priest in the drawing was drawn very handsome." I had to tell her that it was Jesus. LOL!
