- The Holy Dirt of Chimayo, New Mexico
Chimayo, a little adobe church in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in northern New Mexico, is one of the most visited holy sites in America. It’s known for its holy dirt that’s said to have healing properties.

Chimayo-also known as El Santuario de Chimayo-is sometimes called the Lourdes of North America. Like that famous shrine in France, it attracts those who are seeking healing of body and soul. I’ve been to both Chimayo and Lourdes, and both are remarkable places for renewal and healing.
Long before the Spaniards arrived in this region, this spot was considered a healing sanctuary by the Pueblo Indians who lived in the area. Healing spirits were thought to inhabit the hot springs in the area.
Chimayo’s fame spread to the larger world around the year 1810, when a local man saw a light springing from one of the hills near the Santa Cruz River. After following it to its source, he found in the earth a crucifix bearing a dark-skinned Jesus.
The local villagers paid homage to the relic and then took it to a church in nearby Santa Cruz. Mysteriously, during the night the crucifix returned to its original location. After this happened two more times, the locals built a small chapel to house the crucifix in Chimayo.
Through the years, the story of the crucifix became intertwined with earlier indigenous beliefs. While the hot springs had dried up, the earth they left behind was said to have healing properties.
This blending of traditions across time and cultures is common in many holy sites. Druid shrines became churches; altars to goddesses were re-dedicated to the Virgin Mary. I think the Spirit is not overly concerned with externals. What’s important is that pilgrims come to these places with open hearts.
Thousands of people make their way to Chimayo each year, coming from places around the world. Holy Week is a particularly popular time to make a pilgrimage to this healing shrine, with many people making the journey on foot from Santa Fe. The tradition was started after World War II by survivors of the Bataan Death March, who walked to the church in gratitude for their deliverance.

Santuario rocks!
Thank u for sharing I have alot of family history thier.,
Thank you for watching.
I always wondered how the holy dirt was replenished since so many people keep digging out the dirt for their bottles and jars and containers. I've also been there, and yes...it is very emotional. Thank you for this video. When I tripped and fell on the hole where the holy dirt was some of the dirt rubbed off on my leg that I had pain in for many years. To this date the pain never returned and I am now 72.
