El Santuario de Chimayo

A Spring day at El Santuario de Chimayo made a late afternoon road trip out of Santa Fe worth the effort. This photo caption is "In Loving Memory'. This 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.
