Folk tradition of Christianity

Pueblo Christianity, sometimes referred to as simply New Mexican folk Christianity, is the Christian traditions that developed in the Southwestern United States, originating from Pueblo and Hispano heritage in Santa Fe de Nuevo México.[1][2][3]

Distinctive practices in New Mexico can include unique pilgrimages such as to El Santuario de Chimayo,[1] the usage of prayer circles and kivas, various shrines like traditional Christian symbolism or santos/kachinas in Territorial Style Pueblo architectural niches, unique agricultural heritage prayers associated with acequias, and customs like the matachines. Various elements of syncretism exist between Pueblo religion,[4] and some Judeo-Christian identity thought to be related to converso Crypto-Judaism.[5] As an active Christian community in New Mexico, they believe in the authority of the Bible, take part in evangelism, are usually practicing Catholics or Protestants,[6][7] and believe in maintaining a personal relationship with God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit.[8]

Popular aspects include the festivities of bizcochitos and luminarias during Christmas in New Mexico.[9] Christians make up 75% of the New Mexican population, of which are the nation's highest percentage of Hispanic and Latino Americans and the second-highest percentage of Native Americans. Those include Robert Fortune Sanchez,[10] Angelico Chavez,[11] Ben Ray Luján, Yvette Herrell, Elisa Martinez,[12] and Renee Begay.[13] The Christian arts of New Mexicans are well known, especially Indochristian art including santos, and the Christian media produced in the state has included numerous works of Christian radio and Christian literature.[3]

## Traditions[edit]

### Agricultural[edit]

The connection of Christianity and agriculture is very apparent within Pueblo Christianity, and is usually cited as the primary origin of Pueblo Christianity.[14] For example, the New Mexico PBS program Colores, did a segment on the importance of acequias as a physical manifestation of faith and unity for New Mexican reservations and towns.[15]

### Plazas and placitas[edit]

San Felipe de Neri Church from the placita in Old Town Albuquerque

The placita (Spanish for little plaza) and their associated church, are a historic core of numerous communities throughout New Mexico.[16][17] And they continue to be hubs like Old Town Albuquerque's San Felipe de Neri Church, or the Santa Fe Plaza's San Miguel Mission, Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, and Loretto Chapel. There are also Acoma Pueblo's plaza, Taos Downtown Historic District, Mesilla Plaza, and Las Vegas Plaza. Some retain their placement culminating in agricultural areas, like the San Ysidro Church in Corrales.

### Artwork[edit]

Santos on display at the Martinez Hacienda in Taos, New Mexico

George López and Bernadette Vigil are very well-regarded Santos artisans.

### Southwestern niches[edit]

A Territorial Style addition to Pueblo architecture was the niche, which was also added to later Pueblo and Territorial revival architectures as a feature in living rooms and foyers. They are usually adorned with Christian symbols, Pueblo pottery, santos, kachinas, and other art of the American Southwest.

### Place names[edit]

The Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the north have legends associated with them, and some places share holy land naming conventions like Belen being the Spanish word for Bethlehem.

## Events[edit]

### Fiestas[edit]

Puebloan matachines at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in 1992
