Spirituality
There are some places in the world that just seem to have something more than meets the eye - a place of serenity, of introspection, of holiness. St. Francis's original chapel in Assissi is one of them. So is the Santuario de Chimayo.
This chapel in the middle of nowhere is thought to have miraculous powers. There are many crutches hanging on the wall of which people claim to have been able to rid themselves. The chapel is unpretentious - like Assissi - but has a holiness about it. It has a totally different flavor than any East Coast or European church. But this is Northern New Mexico, and it fits just fine.
