El Santuario de Chimayo, the Lourdes of America

A small shrine in Chimayo founded in the 1800’s, this quiet and unassuming place gets hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. There’s some story about the sand in there being holy, and I hear they send truck loads of sand to replace what people take.
