Guadalupe Chapel
A Walk Through Old Town

Candles Lit for Prayers Beneath the Madonna

By Aileen O'Catherine
Leaving the parking lot behind the church, step east again to San Felipe Street. Take a left and look for the narrow passageway next to the store Saints and Martyrs. Signs will direct you to the back of the Albuquerque Museum. Tucked away along the passageway is a small chapel, La Capilla de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe. Built in 1975, it was part of the Sagrada Arts School.

The chapel contains a colorful window of plexiglass panels. A perpetual calendar, it portrays the Feasts of the Virgin and the moon’s phases.
