Several of my former students from the Pueblo of Jemez invited me to celebrate their Feast Day with them today. This particular day is also known as the Pecos Feast of St. Persingula. It’s an annual feast day that combines Catholic and Native American traditions, honoring the Pueblo’s connection to the now-abandoned Pecos Pueblo. The day includes a Catholic Mass, traditional dances, other ceremonies as well as some of the best traditional homemade food I’ve ever eaten in all my travels.
