The Mothers Day
Pilgrimage
It was in the late 1980’s or early
1990’s, that the Guadalupanas started the Mothers Day
Pilgrimage. Men also walk on this pilgrimage. There are now six
routes on this pilgrimage to El Santuario in Chimayo: Trampas,
Truchas,. Cordova, Pojoaque, Nambe, and Holy Family. This
pilgrimage is held each year on the Saturday before Mothers
Day, concluding with celebration of the Holy Mass at El
Santuario.
