Everywhere I looked on our trip to New Mexico, I was taken by the beautiful doors.

The doors at the cabin were made in Santa Fe.  Look what a difference the nail-head trim makes.  The finish is wonderful also.

I have shown you these doors before, and I think they are absolutely beautiful.  This cutout cross design was also on the cabinet doors in the kitchen.

The Taos Blue doors set into the adobe walls amazed me.  I couldn’t stop searching for them.  These doors are said to be the color of the Taos sky, and I think they are right.

This door is at the Saint Francisco mission in Rancho de Taos.  I thought the white door was a little strange on the old adobe church, but isn’t it pretty.

This is another door at Saint Francisco, and I am taken with the detail carving.

The carved doors at El Santuario de Chimayo took my breath away.  Can you believe this?

This is a more primitive door at Chimayo.  Look at the lock.

This is an old primitive door at Chimayo.  There is so much character in this door.

Look at these bronze doors at the entrance of the Saint Francis Cathedral in Santa Fe.  During the restoration of the cathedral in 1986, these doors were installed.  Each of the twenty panels represents historical events of the  church in Santa Fe.  Beautiful!  (and very heavy)

This carving of Saint Francis in on a  door inside the Saint Francis Cathedral.

Gorgeous doors at the Loretta Chapel.  As you can see, the beautiful doors were everywhere.

Displayed at the Millicent Rogers Museum are outstanding examples of early doors from New Mexico.

I wish I knew this story.

The arched entry is so inviting.

This is another antique door at the Rogers Museum.  Look at it closely.  There is a basket weave covering with nailhead decorations.  I have never seen anything like this before.

All of the work and craftsmanship that went into making these doors astounds me.

I do have one last door to show you. We visited this door outside Groom, Texas.  I will tell you more about this visit later, but for now look at this door.  It is a replica of the tomb where Jesus lay.  The stone (door) is rolled away.  The grave could not contain him.  He is alive!

We are blessed.

Blessings to you and yours,
