Note Fr. Steele:

"One of the Magi or Pope St. Clement of Rome."|"by a santero of the classic period; NKS pl 243 is a Santo Niño de Atocha, probably 182 at the very earliest, since this seems to have been done by the same hand"|"gotten from Tony Garcia on N 4th, Loretta Sanchez' father, who got it in Laguna Pueblo."|"not a subject in Santos & Saints until 1994 edition; still unsure..."|"quote alabanza 22-25e, Clemente as patron protector agst devil -- 'One of the oldest prayers which few persons now know,' 'Iva por un Caminito,' has these line (WPA/Reyes N. Martinez, -25e): San Clemente mi pariente / Para que el male no me tiente / Ni de noche ni de dia -- Saint Clement my relative / That the Evil One may not tempt me / Neither at night nor during the day"|"... but on the other hand, since the Lagunas like other pueblos appeal to the Tres Reyes Magos to empower the 'Spanish Officials' -- governor, etc, sacristans -- who deal with the non-Pueblo world of county, state, nation, and RC Church -- this may be Gaspar, Melchior, or Baltasar."|"Stylistically, it fits into the Rio Abajo/Messilla Valley/Northern Mexico stylegroup with RU 236"|"Robin Farwell Gavin is now studying it."
