Saints, Statues, and Stories: A Folklorist Looks at the Religious Art of Sonora

by James S. Griffith

Book Overview

. . . we move to the town of Aconchi on the R o Sonora, where the mission church once contained a life-sized crucifix with a black corpus, known both as Nuestro Se or de Esquipulas . . . and El Cristo Negro de Aconchi . . .
