Description
Each year thousands of people journey to a small adobe church in Chimayo, New Mexico in search of spiritual or physical healing. They come to El Sanctuario de Chimayo because they believe it was built on ground that possesses curative powers and that many people have been restored to health by the sacred earth. El Santuario de Chimayo is a tiny shrine that is built on the site of what many believe to be a miracle associated with the crucifix of Nuestro Senor de Esquipulas (Our Lord of Esquipulas). It is also the site of "el pocito," the small pit of "Holy Dirt" which many people believe possesses remarkable curative powers.
