For something quite different with regard to Easter, go to American Memory and enter Juan B Rael in Search: American Memory

Item 7 on the list is "Introduction to the New Mexican Alabado." An alabado is a religious hymn, part of the folklore of New Mexico and southern Colorado. The spiritual music of the Spanish who settled in this large area, starting in the 16th century, is little known outside of the region.
The culture is in its last days; the flagellants persist in perhaps only half a dozen of the small rural communities, and only a few old people remember the folk songs, which used to be numerous. The beliefs have been fought by the Catholic hierarchy for many years; their persistance into the the 20th century speaks for the dogged independence of these people.
Audio is provided for all of the songs in the Rael Collection.

The young have adopted the customs and music of the greater 'Anglo' community, which has swamped the region. Also contributing to change are the more dynamic modern Mexican and Tejano cultures, as people from these cultures have also come to the region.

The next 60 items (to 67) in the list are the Easter, nativity and other feast or saint day spiritual songs, given in both Spanish and English. Item eight discusses the Spanish feasts, and item nine provides the texts and translations of the wedding songs.
