So here I am visiting Santa Fe for the first time and there’s a big Our Lady of Guadelupe portrait in the hotel lobby.
So nice. This does not and would not happen in my fair city.

Have you had a chance to visit the (unfortunately deconsecrated) Loretto Chapel? The miracle staircase is amazing.
 
I too love seeing Catholic art in unexpected places. It warms my heart and gives me hope for the world.
 
See the things in Santa Fe for sure. Check out some of the things in the reliquary at the basilica. Then find a map and make the short drive north to Chimayo. You will not regret it.

Unfortunately we have no car. Today in my free time I did a walking pilgrimage to the oldest shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the U.S, and to the Rosario chapel. It so happens that this is the week annually when Our Lady of Conquistador is processed about a mile through town from the Cathedral of San Francisco to the Rosary chapel. Then back again after the novena. It is the oldest Marian procession in the U.S. I missed the procession but I got to venerate the lovely statue which dates from the 1600s.
Loving the Catholic atmosphere here, although I am very sorry the Loretto chapel is no longer Catholic but in private hands. I think it is confusing to people since it is intact and very Catholic inside. My hotel room looks out onto it.

Our Lady’s tears seem to be happening in New Mexico, so it makes it all the more poignant here.
