A miraculous crucifix of Our Lord of Esquipulas was found in 1810. The crucifix was brought to Santa Cruz, but three times it disappeared and was later found back in its hole in Chimayo. By the third time, everyone understood that El Senor de Esquipulas wanted to remain in Chimayó, and so a small chapel was built on the site. Then the miraculous healings began. A larger, Shrine -- an adobe mission -- was built in 1816.
