The tradition of home shrines first began evolving in the American
Southwest during the Mexican colonial period, when priests often
travelled to homes to perform mass, novenas, baptisms, and
marriages, a practice that continues today. This colourful book
features the personal altars of mostly Hispanic families living in
the towns and villages of northern New Mexico. Most are devoutly
Catholic, and although Roman Catholic dogma does not officially
recognise home shrines, the altar tradition for most Hispanos is a
sign of being "Catholic from the heart". Their private altars allow
for devotion in daily life, a practice embraced by those of all
beliefs who desire personal sacred places to meditate, pray, or
reflect. These portraits will serve as an inspiration for even the
least devout among us desiring more spirituality in our lives.
