In 1610, the capital city of New Mexico was christened La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís. Santa Fe is the fourth of 13 official commemorative cities named Santa Fe, which means Holy Faith in Spanish. It’s also the first city in the world outside of Spain to bear the name. I’m sure our founding fathers had no inkling of the ramifications that name would conjure four centuries later. Catholicism was the first religion introduced to the area, but Native American spirituality had been entrenched in the land for thousands of years. The presence of ancient religions of the East, old European faiths, American-made religions, mysticism and New Age, are all found in Santa Fe. Just as the earliest settlers began their own type of worship in small groups in private homes, people continue to gather in a similar fashion as they hone in on a spiritual foundation to fit their needs and lifestyles. And just like the early days, these new missionaries reach out in the Spanish language to the state’s burgeoning immigrant community from Mexico and Central America.
