Episode Description
Featuring beautiful photography and great music, this ¡Colores! celebrates some of New Mexico’s most unique Christmas traditions. The religion and folk tales surrounding the Christmas season of the Spanish, Mexican, Native American, and Anglo cultures are told through four customs. We begin with the small paper bags with candles and the small bonfires known as "Luminarias" and "Farolitos" that serve as announcement and invitation to the Christmas season. We then show beautiful procession and fiesta of La Virgen de Guadalupe (in Albuquerque's South Broadway/San José neighborhoods), followed by the reenactment of Mary and Joseph seeking shelter in Las Posadas, and end with the Los Matachinas dances. Produced in the spring of 1997 to be broadcasted December 1997, McCune funding applies to this program. Major funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting through the Pacific Mountain Network Program Fund.
