380651 4 Location 573024 <p>An adobe chapel built in 1800's, the Santuario de Chimayo is a very sacred place, visited by over a quarter million persons annually.&nbsp; The "big" event is a pilgrimage made on Good Friday each year, some pilgrims walking a hsort distance, others&nbsp; walking from Santa Fe or Albuquerque.&nbsp;<br /></p><p>The day I visited, there were not many visitors, and I was able to walk around the grounds and the chapel without interruption.&nbsp; A gift shop on the grounds sells items to support the maintenance of the old building.<br /></p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Santuario_de_Chimayo<p> http://www.archdiocesesantafe.org/AboutASF/Chimayo.html</p> 2008-07-17T00:05:36-07:00 816218128 2008-07-14T17:00:00-07:00 0 16 250777 7345569 380651 0 163611 0.0 2008-07-14T17:00:00-07:00 Published 0.0 2008-07-17T15:30:51-07:00 97199 0
