With over 300,000 visitors each year, the legendary shrine El Santuario de Chimayo is probably the most visited church in New Mexico. The
crucifix that Don Bernardo Abeyta found on Good Friday in 1810 still resides on the chapel alter, but for some reason its curative powers have been overshadowed by El
Posito, the "sacred sand pit" from which it sprang.
Each year during Holy Week thousands of people make a pilgrimage to Chimayo to visit the Santuario to
feel the dirt and the healing touch of God.
