Devoted to the Saints: New Mexican Santos | ¡COLORES! NMPBS

Handed down from generation to generation the religious art of Santeros is a vibrant and important as it was centuries ago. Before the first English colonists set sail for Jamestowne on 1607, Spanish settlers arrived in northern New Mexico bringing their heritage and culture to this new world -- traditions that still exist today. Devoted to the Saints looks closely at the history, role and inspirational value of the Santos, or little saints, carved from wood and revered through the ages.

They all white looking, like European. I don't know about all good...

Why is that an issue? The settlers' Catholic religion originated in Europe.
