Postcards from Paradise

A Place of miracles
An open gate
Postcards from Chimayo New Mexico where I visited recently. Many people make pilgrimages to the little church in Chimayo for healing.
Looking beyond the threshold

Miracles happen here

Upon leaving Chimayo there is a room with hundreds of crutches and wheelchairs that the healed left behind.

  3. the first time i walked through those aged gates i was maybe 12 and completely transfixed...especially in that small room anchored with prayers, petitions, gratitude and old cast off crutches.

    thank you for taking me back to a place of miracles.

  4. I would love to visit there.. I don't have crutches.. except one around my heart...grief surfacing after 10 years can take its toll :(

  5. I have been to Chimayo and it was very inspiring. In fact, I stepped into a hole the room where the proof of miracles are displayed but my girlfriend Kathy caught me! We filled little bottles with stream water to bring to a friend who was terminally ill back in California. I'll always remember Chimayo as the place where we prayed for our dear, departed Donna. Your great photos have evoked a lot of memories.
