38-494: The river starts in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range and passes through the state capital, Santa Fe providing approximately 40% of the city's water supply. It is an intermittent stream with two perennial reaches. The river is 46 miles (74 km) long. It was first dammed in 1881 and flows when water is released by the city of Santa Fe from two continuous reservoirs. The site of the 1881 dam, Two-Mile Dam, upstream of Santa Fe,

76-655: A National Natural Landmark in 1976 as one of the best known examples of igneous dikes . The mountains can be seen from as far as 133 mi (214 km) to the north from Colorado Springs , 65 mi (105 km) to the south from Raton, New Mexico , and 85 mi (137 km) to the east from La Junta, Colorado . The Culebra Range runs almost due north and south, with its northern limit at La Veta Pass in Colorado, and its southern limit at Costilla Creek , just south of Big Costilla Peak in New Mexico. Its highest point

114-412: A number of fourteen thousand foot peaks in the Colorado portion, as well as several peaks in New Mexico which are over thirteen thousand feet. The name of the mountains may refer to the occasional reddish hues observed during sunrise and sunset, and when alpenglow occurs, especially when the mountains are covered with snow. Although the particular origin of the name is unclear, it has been in use since

152-612: A reason to remove the chalice from common communion altogether, or giving it on only special occasions. However, it was always consecrated and drunk by the priest, regardless of whether or not the laity partook. This was one of the issues debated during the Protestant Reformation . As a consequence, the Catholic Church first wanted to eliminate ambiguity, reaffirming that Christ was present both as body and as blood equally under both species of bread and wine. As time went on,

190-664: A rich agricultural history and has been the scene of land disputes between the descendants of Hispanic settlers and Anglo ranchers since the 1860s. The Taos Mountains span the western lobe of the range from Costilla Creek in the north, to Tres Ritos in the south. They include the highest point in New Mexico, Wheeler Peak , at 13,161 feet (4,011 m), which is part of the Wheeler Peak Wilderness . Other notable peaks include Pueblo Peak, which at 12,305 feet (3,751 m) rises dramatically above Taos Pueblo , and Latir Peak , at 12,708 feet (3,873 m). Williams Lake

228-563: Is Culebra Peak at 14,047 ft (4,282 m), which is notable for being the only fourteener in Colorado on private land with an access fee. Climbers wishing to ascend Culebra must pay a fee (currently US$ 150 per person), and the number of climbers per year is limited. It is also the most southerly fourteener in the U.S. Rockies. Standing to the east of the main crest are the two prominent Spanish Peaks (West: 13,626 ft (4,153 m), East: 12,860 ft (3,920 m)). These peaks were important landmarks for 19th century travelers on

266-521: Is currently located. The tributary meandered along what is now Water Street to join the Santa Fe River in the area where the Santuario de Guadalupe is located. Several additional marsh areas and springs had existed in the downtown Santa Fe area forming wetlands that were "active well into the first half of the 20th century." These "ghost springs" still flood basements in numerous downtown buildings, such as

304-541: Is located below Wheeler Peak in the Wheeler Peak Wilderness. Taos Ski Valley lies just to the west of Wheeler Peak. Much of the central portion of the Taos Mountains is on Taos Pueblo land. As viewed from Taos , they are locally called "Taos Mountain." The southern portion of the Taos Mountains, between Palo Flechado Pass and Tres Ritos ( U.S. Route 64 and NM Route 518), is lower and less dramatic than

342-463: Is now part of the 190-acre (0.77 km) Santa Fe Canyon Preserve, a trailhead for the 20-mile (32 km) Dale Ball Foothill Trail System. The Santa Fe River Watershed is 285 square miles (740 km), ranging in elevations between 12,408 ft (3,782 m) to 5,220 ft (1,590 m). The environmental group American Rivers designated the Santa Fe River as America's Most Endangered River of 2007, and Santa Fe Mayor David Coss made reviving

380-648: Is that by the end of the Epiklesis , the change has been completed. The Eastern Orthodox also do not use the Latin theological term Transubstantiation to define the conversion from bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, they use the word metousiosis without the precise theological elaboration that accompanies the term transubstantiation. In the Eastern Orthodox churches, and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow

456-549: The Byzantine Rite , there is no individual devotion to the Blood of Christ separate from the Body of Christ , or separated from the reception of Holy Communion . When receiving Holy Communion, the clergy (deacons, priests and bishops) will receive the Body of Christ separately from the Blood of Christ. Then, the remaining portions of the consecrated Lamb (Host) is divided up and placed in

494-525: The Cenozoic Laramide orogeny . They are bounded on the west by the Rio Grande rift and on the east by a series of reverse and thrust faults . Vertical displacement along the faults is at least 4,200 metres (13,800 ft), and gravity measurements suggest the uplift has been thrust eastward great distances. This faulting places Precambrian basement rock in contact with sedimentary strata along

532-714: The Eucharist or Lord's Supper, which some Christian denominations believe to be the same blood of Christ shed on the Cross. The Catholic Church , Eastern Orthodox Church , the Oriental Orthodox churches , the Assyrian and Ancient Churches of the East , and Lutherans , together with high church Anglicans , know this as the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist . The Catholic Church uses

570-588: The Old Law the flesh of the sacrificial victim was shared with the people, but the blood of the sacrifice was merely poured out on the altar . Under the New Law , however, Jesus's blood was the drink shared by all of Christ 's faithful . St. Justin Martyr , an early Church Father of the 2nd century, speaks of the Eucharist as the same body and blood of Christ that was present in his Incarnation . The tradition continued in

608-460: The Pecos River . The peaks include Truchas Peak , 13,102 ft (3,993 m), as their highest point. Other notable peaks are Santa Fe Baldy (12,622 ft (3,847 m)) and Jicarita Peak (12,835 ft (3,912 m)). The Pecos Wilderness is crossed by many trails and is popular for backpacking and for fishing in its high alpine lakes. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains were uplifted during

646-625: The Santa Fe Plaza area, along Agua Fria Street, Frenchy's Field , the Santa Fe Canyon zone above La Bajada hill, and La Cieneguilla . As of 2007, the Santa Fe River Trail existed in short segments, within Santa Fe (city) and Santa Fe County , and the city and county developed plans to link those segments. The initial push was to develop the trail from the city downstream; this was

684-538: The chalice and both the Body and Blood of Christ are communicated to the faithful using a liturgical spoon (see also Intinction ). The blood shed by Christ was a common theme in early modern Italian art. Paintings of Christ depicted on the cross and as the Man of Sorrows have consistently been some of the bloodiest images in Christian art. The blood of Christ was a compelling artistic symbol of his incarnation and sacrifice. As

722-558: The Church in the East to commingle the species of bread and wine, whereas in the West, the Church had the practice of communion under the species of bread and wine separately as the custom, with only a small fraction of bread placed in the chalice . In the West, the communion at the chalice was made less and less efficient, as the dangers of the spread of disease and danger of spillage (which would potentially be sacrilegious ) were considered enough of

760-639: The Holy Wounds of Jesus , and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy . The Eastern Orthodox teach that what is received in Holy Communion is the actual Resurrected Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. In the West, the Words of Institution are considered to be the moment at which the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ. But for the Eastern Orthodox there is no one defined moment; rather, all that Orthodox theology states

798-804: The Municipal Recreation Center on Caja del Rio Rd. The arroyos of Santa Fe drain the Santa Fe area into the river. Sangre de Cristo Mountains The Sangre de Cristo Mountains ( Spanish for " Blood of Christ ") are the southernmost subrange of the Rocky Mountains .

836-519: The PERA Building adjacent to the State Capitol . The 1914 hydrographic survey of the river showed that there were at least 38 irrigation ditches used to water over 1,000 acres of farm land. Prior to the mid-20th century, there are differing opinions on whether the Santa Fe River was perennial along its length. Evidence exists that the waterway was fed by several springs historically located throughout

The Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve lies on

912-467: The chalice was made more available to the laity. After the Second Vatican Council , the Catholic Church gave a full permission for all to receive communion from the chalice at every Mass involving a congregation, at the discretion of the priest. The Catholic Church teaches that the bread and wine, through transubstantiation, become the body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ—in other words,

950-720: The corridor of the historic El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro , which approached Santa Fe from downstream via the Santa Fe River Canyon below the east rim of the Caja del Rio . The paraje on the Camino Real before Santa Fe was in La Cienega , at what is now El Rancho de las Golondrinas . In the spring of 2012 construction was completed on a new 1.3 mi section of the trail from Camino Alire west to Frenchy's Field Park. The work through this section includes extensive rehabilitation of

988-518: The early 19th century. Before that time the terms "La Sierra Nevada", "La Sierra Madre", "La Sierra", and "The Snowies" (used by English speakers) were used. According to legend, "sangre de Cristo" were the last words of a priest who was killed by Native Americans. Much of the mountains are within various National Forests: the Rio Grande and San Isabel in Colorado, and the Carson and Santa Fe in New Mexico. These publicly accessible areas are managed by

1026-588: The east side of the Cimarron Range. This is a minor subrange, significantly lower than the rest of the Sangre de Cristos; it lies east of the southernmost portion of the Taos Mountains. Rounding out the Sangre de Cristo Mountains are the Santa Fe Mountains, which include all peaks south of NM Route 518. This group lies near Santa Fe and surrounds the Pecos Wilderness , which protects the source watershed of

1064-579: The eastern margin of the uplift except where igneous rocks have been intruded along the fault. Blood of Christ Blood of Christ , also known as the Most Precious Blood , in Christian theology refers to the physical blood actually shed by Jesus Christ primarily on the Cross , and the salvation which Christianity teaches was accomplished thereby, or the sacramental blood (wine) present in

1102-522: The fundamental "substance" of the body and blood of Christ are literally present alongside the substance of the bread and wine, which remain present. Lutherans too believe in and teach the Real Presence. Other Protestant churches reject the idea of the Real Presence; they observe eucharistic rites as simply memorials. In the early Church, the faithful received the Eucharist in the form of consecrated bread and wine. Saint Maximus explains that in

1140-471: The largest and most northerly subrange of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, runs directly along the east side of the Rio Grande rift , extending southeast from Poncha Pass for about 75 miles (120 km) through south-central Colorado to La Veta Pass , approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of Walsenburg . They form a high ridge separating the San Luis Valley on the west from the watershed of

1178-542: The mountain branch of the Santa Fe Trail . The western slope of the Culebras and the San Luis Valley are located within the Sangre de Cristo Land Grant , dating back to the 1840s but still a factor in the pattern of land ownership within the grant. The San Luis Valley is arid. The town of San Luis, Colorado has an annual precipitation of only 9.6 inches (240 mm).The surrounding area, traversed by Culebra Creek , has

1216-463: The northern section, with its high point being Cerro Vista, 11,939 ft (3,639 m). The Fernando Mountains are a small subrange lying in this section, just south of US Route 64. The Cimarron Range lies across the Moreno Valley to the east of the Taos Mountains. It is a lower range, with its highest point being Baldy Mountain at 12,441 ft (3,792 m). The Philmont Scout Ranch lies on

1254-633: The renowned relic of the Precious Blood, which had been noted in Bruges at least since the twelfth century, and which gave rise, from the late thirteenth century, to the observances, particular to Bruges, of the procession of the "Saint Sang" from its chapel.

1292-573: The river one of his administration's top priorities. Archaeological evidence shows that prior to the 1610 founding of Santa Fe, four of the local Indigenous people's pueblos were built near several perennial springs along the Santa Fe River. The source of the Rio Chiquito, a tributary of the Santa Fe River, was a productive spring located near the Santa Fe Cathedral where the Archbishop's garden

1330-518: The riverbed, significant erosion protection structures, and the addition of hundreds of cottonwood saplings and willows along the entire 1.3 mi stretch. Further west on the county-managed stretch of the river, two orphan sections of the trail wait to be connected to the existing system. One section extends west for a mile beginning at the Community Farm at San Ysidro crossing. The other extends north and west from Agua Fria and Dominguez Lane toward

1368-484: The southwest side of the mountains in Colorado and are managed by the National Park Service. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains are divided into various subranges, described here from north to south. Use of the terms "Sangre de Cristo Range" and "Sangre de Cristo Mountains" is inconsistent and may refer to the northernmost subrange, the southernmost subrange, or the mountains as a whole. The Sangre de Cristo Range,

1406-603: The term transubstantiation to describe the change of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. The Eastern Orthodox Churches used the same term to describe the change, as in the decrees of the 1672 Synod of Jerusalem , and the Catechism of St. Philaret (Drozdov) of Moscow. The Lutheran churches follow the teaching of Martin Luther in defining the presence of Christ in the eucharistic elements as sacramental union (often misconstrued as consubstantiation ), meaning that

1444-464: The whole Christ—when consecrated. Devotion to the Precious Blood was a special phenomenon of Flemish piety in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, that gave rise to the iconic image of Grace as the " Fountain of Life ," filled with blood, pouring from the wounded " Lamb of God " or the Holy Wounds of Christ. The image, which was the subject of numerous Flemish paintings , was in part spurred by
