For generations Hispanic Villagers of New Mexico and Southern Colorado have created Santos, ( Religious images of Catholic Christian Saints and biblical scenes). These were used in their homes, churches and private chapels to aid in worship and for adornment. The contemporary Santeros and Santeras of today continue this tradition in creating wonderful and meaningful artwork. They still use many of the same material and methods their “antepasados” used.
