This book is about the historic Catholic Churches of Northern New Mexico and the people who built them with faith, heart and hands. Being Hispanic is synonymous with being Catholic. There's a long tradition of being Catholic in New Mexico. To try and change a Hispanic's religion also changes his culture. Serving old churches is important because they're the cultural heritage of Hispanic people and the Indians of the Southwest in addition to being considered architectural wonders. These ancient churches and chapels which grace the countryside of New Mexico are the great legacy of the culture and faith. Standing alone they tell a marvelous story of ancestors of the culture and the faith that filled hearts and homes. This book tells the same story in words. Contents: Preface, Foreword, Acknowledgments, Photographers Note, Introduction, The Beginning, Visions of the Golden Age, Sacred Places, The French Influence, Traditional Religious Art, Religious Traditions, Preservation and Faith in Form.
