3. SOUNDBITE (English) Juan Griego, Santa Cruz, California resident:
"I’m personally walking for myself this year. I’ve been diagnosed with prostate cancer so I’m going through that, but I also walk every year I lost my son and my daughter-in-law in an accident in 2021 and I lost a nephew the year after so it’s been a rough couple years. My wife had heart surgery a couple years ago so a lot of different reasons. But it’s a very spiritual walk and it’s good to do some penance and give thanks for all the blessings that we do have in life."
4. Various of people in church area
5. Tight of cross

"Well, the four of us met at work a long time ago, and we decided to do this. So we’ve been doing it for 21 years. And we carry the needs, and we pray for our families. We pray for other people that we know. And we pray for this world."

STORYLINE:
Thousands of Catholics are making the trek to a historic adobe church in the hills of northern New Mexico as part of a Holy Week tradition spanning generations.
El Santuario de Chimayó just north of Santa Fe is one of the most important Catholic pilgrimage centers in the U.S. It culminates Friday in displays of faith, reflection and repentance on backcountry highways.
The church at Chimayó is renowned for a tiny indoor well of holy dirt thought to have curative powers.
The site also is significant because of the Nuestro Señor de Esquipulas crucifix, which was found on the site in the early 1800s.
