SUMMARY:BLESSING OF THE FIELDS
DESCRIPTION:The New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum will celebrate an old tradition with the annual Blessing of the Fields procession on Friday\, May 17. \nAt 10 am\, the colorful procession around the Museum grounds begins with the blessing the animals\, plants\, and acequia. Visitors who come to the Museum to participate in the procession from 10 am to 11 am will not be charged admission. \nThe event begins with the Prayer of the Four Directions\, led by Patrick Narvaez\, and Cacique of Corporacion de los Indigines de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe de Tortugas and Tortugas Pueblo. \nLeading the procession will be Most Reverend Peter Baldacchino\, Bishop of the Las Cruces Diocese. Students from Las Cruces Catholic Schools will be among the participants. \nThe bulto carried during the procession was created by Las Cruces artist Virginia Maria Romero. \nThe Museum will also have a plant sale as part of the festivities. Vegetables\, flowers and desert plants grown in the Museum’s greenhouse will be featured in the sale. \nThis marks the 24th year that the museum has held this program\, which focuses on a long and rich history. San Ysidro\, the patron saint of farmers\, lived from 1070 to 1130. He worked in the fields for a wealthy landowner and was known for his devotion to God\, his humility\, and his generosity to those less fortunate than him. \n  \nThe story of San Ysidro has been passed down through the generations and still inspires many farmers and their families in the Mesilla Valley. For many years\, workers in San Miguel would make a pilgrimage each May\, stopping at all the villages along the valley. \n  \nThe New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum is located at 4100 Dripping Springs Road in Las Cruces. For more information\, call (575) 522-4100.
