ʻO ka huakaʻi hele i Tomé Hill i Tomé,ʻo New Mexico he hōʻailona maikaʻi maikaʻi makahiki. ʻO ka Albuquerque wahiʻo ka pule Easter ka like me ka pilikū i hanaʻia ma ka'ākau o New Mexico i Sanctuario de Chimayo, ma Chimayo. ʻO ka pae'āina ka hukiʻana i nā tausani, aʻo ka hapanui o lākou e hele no nā hola he nui - aiʻole nā lā - e hiki i kahi hoʻomana Katolika.
Ua'ōleloʻia ua hoʻomaka nā Penitentes i ka moʻokūʻauhau makahiki i ka puʻuʻo Tome i mea e hoʻopaʻi ai i ko lākou hewa.
Nui nā Kristiano kahi e hoʻomau i ke kuʻuna i hebedoma o ka hebedoma o ka Easter, hana i nā pule kūikawā ma ke kuahiwi maunat. ʻEkolu kūpeʻa e kau i ka piko o ka puʻu.
Aiaʻo Tomé Hill ma ka hikina o Rio Grande a meʻeono mile ma ka hema o Los Lunas. Aia ma kahi o 15 mile ma ka hema o Albuquerque, ma ka El Camino Real . ʻO ka Camino Real, aʻo ke Alaloa kiʻekiʻe o ke Aliʻi, ke ala a nā koa o Sepania i lawe ai i ko lākou huakaʻiʻana i ka misionari, ma mua o ka liloʻana o ka moku'āinaʻo New Mexico.
Aia ka puʻu i ka Rio Grande Rift , he lono kahiko e hoʻokiʻekiʻeʻia heʻano kūikawā, a he mau māhele nā mokupuni o Sandia kokoke i Albuquerque. He kū hoʻokahi ka honua o New Mexico, a ua kūʻo Tomé Hill ma waho o kahi ākea nui i kahi awāwa. Ua kākauʻia ma mua o 1,800 mau pīlaʻi ma ka puʻu. ʻO kekahi lā ua hoʻihoʻiʻia he mau mau makahiki.
Ma ke kumu o ka puʻu, he wahi pōkole liʻiliʻi me nā kiʻi a me nā pākuhi e wehewehe ana i kahi o ka wahi ma ka mōʻaukala.
ʻO ka Puʻupuʻu kila nui,ʻo La Puerta del Sol, kahi i hōʻikeʻia ai nāʻano likeʻole o ka'āina.
Ma ka lā maikaʻi maikaʻi, hele nā kānaka mai ka papa o ka papa i ka piko o ka puʻu, he hele wāwae e maikaʻi 30 a 45 mau minuke, aʻoi paha, e like me ka pono o ka pilikino. Elua mau ala, ke kula kiʻekiʻe, a iʻole ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, a he nui nā malihini e lawe.
Aia kahi kiʻekiʻe o kahi kiʻekiʻe he 350 kapuaʻi, a hiki i kahi kiʻekiʻe, he mea kupaianaha ka manaʻo.
He nui nā kānaka e hele i kahi alahele mai kahi'ē aʻe, akā hele mai kekahi a hoʻolālū i kā lākou kaʻa kokoke i lalo o ka puʻu. Heʻuʻuku ka wahi kaʻa kaʻa, a no laila, ua hui me nā hoa'āina o ka'āina i ka makahiki 2011 a ua hōʻea mai me kahi mau kaulike hou.
E paniʻiaʻelua alanui ma kahi kokoke i Tomé Hill a nānāʻia e nā luna o ka'āina. ʻO ka kaʻa kaʻa kaʻahele he pilikia i ka wā ma mua, aʻo nā alanui kaʻa e kōkua i ka hāʻawiʻana i kahi hopena. E paniʻiaʻo Tome Hill Road ma NM 47 a me La Entrada ma ke kumu o ka puʻu i ke kaʻa. E kauʻia nā pūnāwai'iliawai.
ʻO ka poʻe nāna e hana i ka piko o ka puʻu, eʻike lākou i nā keʻa i ke kua mai kahi o ka makahiki 1940. Nui nā pule. Ke hele nui nei ka huakaʻi hele makahiki. ʻO ka mea e manaʻo nei e hele, pono iā ia ke komo i nā kāmaʻa hololio, kahiʻona wai a pono eʻaʻahu i nā papa. ʻAʻohe malu.
E hele ma laila

Aia ka puʻu ma ka hikina o 47 ma kahi kokoke i ka Immaculate Conception Church, kahi iʻike nuiʻia mai ka 47.
