The Long Road to Chimayó

Deborah Martinez

It’s Holy Week in the Catholic faith, and today is Good Friday, when Christians believe Jesus Christ was put to death on the cross. It’s also when many thousands of people flock to the famous northern New Mexico chapel called El Santuario de Chimayó. It was built 200 years ago by local villagers, and as we hear from KSFR’s Deborah Martinez, people have been coming ever since for a variety of personal reasons.
