Description
Join the Friends of Salinas Pueblo Missions and the National Park Service for the annual Luminaria de Abó. More than 1,000 hand placed and hand lit luminarias will set the landscape aglow, tracing the outline of the seventeenth century church. The local parish will conduct a Mass at 4:00 pm to be followed by a reenactment of a Posada. A tour of the mission church ruins will follow directly after with music and light refreshments to follow.
