Tucked Away In Cañoncito.......
.....you will find this beautiful little church. Cañoncito is a little unincorporated community in Santa Fe County,NM. Blink and you'll miss it. Nuestra Senora de Luz (Our Lady of Light) church was built between 1880 and 1891. It is faithfully maintained by the parishioners as the vibrations from the traffic thundering by on I25 was causing the adoble walls to crack. Structural repairs have been made and fresh coats of lime plaster added. The oldest grave in the cemetery is dated 1846. It is still used but looking at the luminaries on the wall the last time was probably at Christmas and looking in one of the windows I saw a Christmas tree still decorated. Located on Interstate 25 11.5 miles (18.5 km) southeast of Santa Fe.
