Chimayo, New Mexico

El Santuario de Chimayo “Holy Dirt” church
The tour of the church didn't take place until 4:00, so we visited several weaving shops in the area.  The church was interesting and we were all blessed by the priest. The holy dirt is supposed to have healing qualities; there were many discarded crutches in the small room adjacent to the church that had been left by those cured who no longer needed them.
