(New Mexicans will also see his name spelled San Ysidro.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn May 15, it\u2019s customary and traditional to ask for a blessing from San Isidro, to bless our crops and our acequias, our fields, in hope of a good harvest,\u201d says Paula Garcia, executive director of the New Mexico Acequia Association. \u201cThe story of San Isidro goes that he was such a faithful servant of God, and he would attend mass even if he had a lot of work to do on his garden.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>San Isidro is a role model for the faithful, she says.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost often you\u2019re tempted to skip prayer and mass because you have so much work to do in the spring,\u201d Garcia says. \u201cThe story goes that he was so faithful that angels showed up to work in his fields.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if he isn\u2019t the patron saint of the local Catholic parish, Garcia says agricultural communities will ceremonially bless fields or waters in his name. There are often large processions and masses, including in the South Valley of Albuquerque.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, the annual San Isidro Day celebration in the South Valley was livestreamed via Facebook. And the New Mexico Acequia Association convened its own D\u00eda de San Isidro, complete with musicians singing the traditional <em>alabanza<\/em>, or praise, and elders offering \u201cwise words and a blessing,\u201d via Zoom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe tried to make it more of a storytelling session and to keep the tradition alive; even if it\u2019s virtual, in the hope that by next year we can resume the tradition,\u201d says Garcia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acequia communities are often held up as symbols of resilience in New Mexico. Or, Garcia says they are criticized for \u201cclinging to this way of staying attached to the land, or growing food even when it\u2019s not practical or competitive.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, people may be positioning themselves within a different reality. \u201cEven though it\u2019s painful to be in this moment of economic downturn, with the fear of the pandemic, this is a time of deep reflection,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the pandemic and renewed focus and attention on the local food systems, I think that there\u2019s a broader awareness [of how] important it is to keep our farmland intact and not developed over, and [how] important it is to keep water in agriculture because growing food is important\u2014and not just from a cultural standpoint,\u201d Garcia says.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Correspondent:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laura Paskus\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guest:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paula Garcia, executive director, <a href=\"https:\/\/lasacequias.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Mexico Acequia Association<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For <\/strong><strong>More Information<\/strong><strong>:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abqjournal.com\/1447380\" target=\"_blank\">In Northern New Mexico, Water is Life<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newmexicopbs.org\/productions\/newmexicoinfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fl_logo-1-1024x323.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16467\" width=\"271\" height=\"85\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.newmexicopbs.org\/productions\/newmexicoinfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fl_logo-1-1024x323.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.newmexicopbs.org\/productions\/newmexicoinfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fl_logo-1-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/www.newmexicopbs.org\/productions\/newmexicoinfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fl_logo-1-1536x485.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.newmexicopbs.org\/productions\/newmexicoinfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fl_logo-1-2048x647.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.newmexicopbs.org\/productions\/newmexicoinfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fl_logo-1-24x8.png 24w, https:\/\/www.newmexicopbs.org\/productions\/newmexicoinfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fl_logo-1-36x11.png 36w, https:\/\/www.newmexicopbs.org\/productions\/newmexicoinfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fl_logo-1-48x15.png 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 271px) 100vw, 271px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>This story is part of a collaboration with <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/frontline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>FRONTLINE<\/em><\/a><em>, the PBS series, through its Local Journalism Initiative, which is funded by the John S. and James L.
