NM Vignettes -- Santuario de Chimayo
Holy cow, holy mackerel, holy crap, yes, but we never heard of holy dirt until today.
It seems that back in the 1800s, a priest found a crucifix on this site that he moved to a church. The next day the cross magically appeared back at its original site.
This happened three times until everyone finally gave up and decided the cross was where it was supposed to be. It was declared a miracle and the site was considered sacred ground. Believers come from around the world to pay their respects.
