The oldest image of the Virgin Mary in the United States a petite
wooden statue accompanied Spanish Conquistadors and missionaries to
the Kingdom of Nuevo Mexico in 1625. Her existence has been
tumultuous. She was rescued from a burning church, kidnapped and
held for ransom, and had her wooden form mutilated and remade. This
book conveys the essence of devotion given to the statue who is
yearly celebrated at "La Fiesta de Santa Fe" and yearly carried in
procession based on a promise made over 300 years ago. She is the
Queen of New Mexico, enthroned in her own chapel at the Cathedral
Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in the heart of Santa Fe, New
Mexico. She has the wardrobe of a Spanish Queen with over 200
exquisite gowns and priceless crowns and jewelry. Her name is La
Conquistadora, "Our Lady of the Conquest." Was she a conqueror of
territories or a conqueror of hearts and healer of human
weaknesses? This is her story. Sue Houser is a native of New Mexico
and is interested in preserving the history and culture of the
state. A retired social worker, she writes about the inspiration
and passion behind the stories. This is her second historical,
non-fiction book.
