Description
Considered to be one of the truly holy places of North America, El Sanctuario de Chimayo is situated along the High Road to Taos, one of the first stops leaving Santa Fe and heading toward Taos.
Chimayo is believed by many to be the site of a miracle which occurred about 200 years ago. Miraculous healings are believed to have occurred at the site where a wooden crucifix was unearthed. Because of this a chapel was built in 1816 called el Santuario de Nuestro Señor de Esquipulas. This chapel, now commonly called el Santuario de Chimayó, is the destination of thousands of pilgrims and travellers each year who come for various reasons; some hoping to be healed, some simply for curiousity, and some hoping to be restored spiritually by the tranquility and hospitality of the surroundings.
In addition to the Sanctuario, there is another chapel, a few prayer portals, garden area, outdoor prayer area, and monuments on the grounds. It’s a lovely area to spend an hour or so.
