Description
North of Sante Fe, New Mexico is a very small community, Chimayo. This church has a long history of being known for healing. A small room on the side of the church has testimony to healing through pictures and objects such as crutches left that were no longer needed. At the back of this small room is a pit where one can collect a small amount of Holy Dirt.
El Santuario de Chimayo is a Roman Catholic, shrine, a National Historic Landmark, is famous for the story of its founding and as a contemporary pilgrimage site. It receives almost 300,000 visitors per year and has been called the most important Catholic pilgrimage center in the United States.
