It should not be much of a surprise that the feast of St. Francis of Assisi—la fiesta de san Francisco—is celebrated heartily in Lumberton New Mexico. This year’s fiesta began on Friday and lasted through Sunday. The lineup of events included a pancake breakfast on Saturday, dinner on Sunday, a softball tournament, a dance, a 3k run, vespers and benediction, a painfully long movie about the life of the good saint, a procession of his statue through the streets (street) of Lumberton, a blessing of animals, games, and of course bingo.
