Estab. 1751
This church was founded in 1751; it is considered one of the best examples of Colonial Spanish architecture in New Mexico. Some of the adobe walls, which are re-mudded periodically, are as much as six feet thick.

Holy Light
On the way from Pecos, New Mexico, into the Pecos Wilderness, travelers will pass by a little adobe church. Some travelers will stop to look around and make some photos. And some of those travelers will walk around the church and peer into a small, dirty window to see what’s there.
And this is what they will see: a crucifix and a lantern, bathed in the holy light from the other side. Of the room.

The usual pew
This made me happy: someone’s personal church cushion marking their place at church.

The weight of the world
The obvious signs of wear – peeling paint, window glass that doesn’t match, a pile of stuff – made me feel like this little country church had the weight of the world on its shoulders.

Out-of-Business Church
There wasn’t any signage indicating theological affiliation (or any affiliation, for that matter) outside this church, so I assume it’s out of business.
Naturally, that did not discourage me from having a look around.
