San Isidro Day Celebration at the Chimayó Museum

The Chimayó Cultural Preservation Association, in conjunction with the New Mexico Acequia Association, is sponsoring a San Isidro celebration at the museum on May 17. The celebration will begin at the Chimayó Museum with a blessing of the Acequia de los Ortegas by the hermanos of the local morada. Local youth will help to divert water from the acequia and then will follow it in a procession by the museum and into the Plaza del Cerro, where they will plant seeds in a small plot. Each child will be given Chimayó chile seedlings to take home.
