HARVESTING PIÑONS: The Unique Fruits & Extraordinary Roots of a New Mexican Family Tree

I was raised with a love and longing for my Grandmother's New Mexican country roots, yet our Spanish and Basque origins have always been a mystery. Tracing the lineages and histories of our ancestors is a lot like the tradition of Harvesting Piñons - its an arduous task so you won't get there easily, you'll need guidance from those who know the land, and although it's a far reach to get to the best fruit, the nostalgia in the end is worth the toil.

Penitentes

I have a great appreciation for my family's Penitente background, but I also have a great deal of respect for their desire for privacy.

I don't plan to write about what I discover about my family's Penitente history, but I do want to share an amazing article that explains the history of this secret brotherhood.

I'm also providing you with the information of the church/chapel where the Penitentes worshiped before building their own Morada.
