A SACRED PATH

Isabela Lucero, 10, La Malinche for this year's festival, leads the dance as the community processes down N.M. 337, the only road through town. "The Malinche is very, very special. She is dressed in white, pure white. That (symbolizes) she is a virgin and she is getting ready to receive her communion," said town elder Ernest Gutierrez.
