    This is a remarkable Zen sangha because Roshi Joan Halifax is a one of the greatest living zen masters and because of its social activism.

    Gayle and I returned to the Basilica as part of our Santa Fe Footprints walking tour. Our guide…read more(Terry) provided history of Bishop Lamy's work in Santa Fe, and with help from the Jewish Community at the time. That's why you'll see the Hebrew for God at the entrance to the Basilica. Apparently, the statue of Bishop Lamy was also an espionage meeting point during the Manhattan Project. There there's the La Conquistadora Chapel: the only surviving portion of an older church destroyed in the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. It houses a 30-inch wooden statue of the Virgin Mary brought from Spain in 1624, making it the oldest representation of the Blessed Virgin in the United States. At the entrance is the statue of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American canonized by the Catholic Church. Rather than traditional Mohawk attire, she is depicted in Native Pueblo style. And there's more, and something to discover for yourself as you wander in. Helpful docents were available just into the Church during our visit. There's also a pretty good gift shop just as you come in.

    What a beautiful and historic basilica names after an inspiring Saint…read more The entire edifice is carefully adorned with details that point to Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. I was in awe of every part as it uplifted my heart and inspired my soul. Being the Christmas season, there were additional adornments such as a stunning tin decorated tree and an intricately hand-carved wood nativity. We also had the privilege to see a children's nativity and songs. It was so touching and those putting it on invites us to join and enjoy a meal with them.
