Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Moradas, the private meeting houses of the ancient and reclusive brotherhood known as the Hermanos Penitentes, are fascinating landmarks of Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado. These simple adobe structures have served as gathering places for a culture that has existed for centuries, long before the United States even existed. Although once outlawed by the Vatican, the brotherhood and their structures still stand as a testament to the resilience of the people of the San Luis Valley. As this narrative unfolds, it draws readers into a gripping climax set against the backdrop of one such remarkable building.
