In New Mexico, during Lent and Holy Week each year, the Penitent
Brotherhood enacts a primitive Passion Play, which in its
traditional ritual of self-torture represents a curious survival of
the Middle Ages. Much lurid journalism has been devoted to the
Penitentes, but in this sympathetic account by Alice Corbin
Henderson, an eye-witness, the ceremonies are presented in their
true aspect, with the historic background and reason for the
survival clearly indicated. From this it appears that the religious
custom of self-inflicted penance was introduced into the Southwest
as early as 1598 by the Franciscan priests who accompanied Don Juan
de Onate and his soldiers and colonists on their way to the
permanent settlement of the province of New Mexico-originally
embracing all of our present Southwest. From that day the customs
then inaugurated have been traditionally observed by the humble
descendants of the "Conquistadores." Alice Corbin and William
Penhallow Henderson lived in New Mexico and know its people and its
colorful landscape intimately. The striking illustrations in black
and white that appeared in the original 1937 edition are an
integral part of the text of this new edition. Also included in
this edition along with an introduction by Lynn Cline is "Alice
Corbin, An Appreciation" from "New Mexico Quarterly Review" in
1949, an article by Marc Simmons from "The Santa Fe New Mexican,"
and a review of the book from "New Mexico Quarterly" at the time of
publication of the original edition in 1937 by T. M. Pearce.
