"Entren, Santos Peregrinos..."
Mrs. Luz Gonzales of East Los Angeles chooses to make her nacimiento a truly public declaration of her devotion to the Niño Dios by placing the installation in her front yard. The canvas canopy covers the entire length of the assemblage which contains miniature figures brought from Mexico and usually displayed indoors (Photograph by Mary MacGregor-Villarreal, 1990, courtesy of the Southwest Museum, negative # 7M2)
