El Santuario de Chimayo
or generations, people of faith have traveled to the site of el Santuario de Chimayo to ask for healing for themselves or for others and to offer prayers of petition or prayers of thanksgiving for favors received. in 1945, U. S. servicemen who had survived the “Bataan Death March” began a tradition of walking to el Santuario to thank Santo niño de atocha for delivering them from evil. the tradition of pilgrimages has grown stronger over the years and now many thousands of people begin or end pilgrimages at el Santuario.
