The Penitente Brotherhood reenact the Passion of Christ through self-mortification of the flesh and emulation of His crucifixion each year in New Mexico during the Catholic Lenten season.

The bilingual text, along with hundreds of photos and other images, ranges from...

El anarquismo es una corriente de pensamiento iniciada a principios del siglo XIX que se transformó en movimiento político a partir de la I Internacional (1864-1876). Los anarquistas, o libertarios, propugnaron la eliminación de cualquier autoridad y lucharon contra todas las formas de Estado.
