Lost Statue





Santo Niño de Atocha in the Sanctuario de Chimayo
Marie-Theresa Hernández
Chimayo, New Mexico
1992


This photograph was taken inside the Santuario de Chimayo. The small statue had been there for hundreds of years. When I returned in 2001 I was told the statue had "broken" and was replaced by another that had little resemblance to the original.
