El Santuario de Chimayo
El Santuario de Chimayó is a Roman Catholic church in Chimayó, New Mexico, USA. (''Santuario'' is Spanish for "sanctuary".) This shrine, a National Historic Landmark, is famous for the story of its founding and as a contemporary pilgrimage site. It receives almost 300,000 visitors per year〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = The Archdiocese of Santa Fe )〕 and has been called "no doubt the most important Catholic pilgrimage center in the United States."〔(Wroth, William H., "Santuario de Chimayo", New Mexico Office of the State Historian )〕
==Description==
The Santuario is on Juan Medina Drive in Chimayó. It is entered through a walled courtyard. Built of adobe with a bell tower on each side,〔 the church is long and wide with walls more than 3 feet (about 1 m) thick.〔 Includes photographs of the interior and exterior.〕 Pointed caps on the towers and a metal pitched roof (blocking the clerestory) were added after 1917, probably in the 1920s. The "elegant" doors were carved by the 19th-century carpenter Pedro Domínguez. An unusual feature is two side-by-side rooms at the entrance forming a vestibule or narthex, once used for storage. The nave contains a crucifix by the santero "Molleno" (fl. 1800–1850) representing Christ of Esquipulas, tall. Other notable folk-art decorations include five reredoses〔 and a small sculpture of St. James the Great.〔 A small room called ''el pocito''〔''Pocito'' is the Academic spelling; ''posito'' and ''pozito'' are also used.〕 (the little well) contains a round pit, the source of "holy dirt" (''tierra bendita'') that is believed to have healing powers. An adjacent Prayer Room displays many ex-votos as well as photographs, discarded crutches, and other testimonials of those purportedly healed.
