Virgin Mary Shrine

Trujillo, NM
We discovered this shrine on our very first car trip to New Mexico as we drove from Tucumcari to Las Vegas, NM along very isolated Route 104. We had come upon a website (perhaps milebymile.com) that listed various points of interest. And there is was ... two shrines on a hillside, untended and open, filled with statues, candles, offerings to the Virgin Mary. It seems to be maintained, but for me its a mystery as to who built it or keeps it up.
