http://www.knme.org - Featuring beautiful photography and great music this film celebrates some of New Mexicos most unique Christmas traditions. The religion and folk tales surrounding the Christmas season of the Spanish, Mexican, Native American and Anglo cultures are told through four customs. We begin with the small paper bags with candles and the small bonfires known as Luminarias & Farolitos that serve as announcement and invitation to the Christmas season. We then show beautiful procession and fiesta of La Virgen de Gaudelaupe, followed by the reenactment of Mary and Joseph seeking shelter in Las Posadas, and end with the exotic Los Matachinas dances.
