Purchase options and add-ons

The special customs and traditions of the Christmas season in Santa Fe, New Mexico are carefully and clearly explained in this book that has become a classic. Lightly falling snow, covering everything in sight with a soft mantle of white, burning luminarias and mellow-light farolitos, the warm adobe architecture, the peace and quiet that settles over the land on Christmas Eve, all tend to strengthen the comparison between Santa Fe and the land where Christ was born. At no time of year is it more apparent that Santa Fe, New Mexico is a foreign city still relying on the traditions of the past. Pedro Ribera Ortega's richly descriptive book gives all the details, including the difference between luminarias and farolitos, in case you have lived in Santa Fe all your life and still do not know the difference.

Top review from the United States

Maida
5.0 out of 5 stars well researched explanations of New Mexico’s Spanish heritage Christmas traditions
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2020
I have the 1973 edition in paperback, which has a beautifully written preface by Merle Armitage, A tribute to the qualifications of Pedro Ortega, who researched and wrote this book. Armitage, the legendary book designer, designed the 1961 edition but not this one unfortunately. I don’t know how the 1997 edition compares to 1973. Ortega tries to get to the root of many of the Spanish heritage customs of Santa Fe. He feel strongly that “farolitos are not luminarias” add backs that up with research. Complete with an index, this is a valuable source of information on many traditions.
