Title refers to the stars that look like the Star of David. Some of the early settlers of New Mexico were “conversos” – Jews who had converted to Catholicism during the Inquisition but still practiced their faith in secret – or at least kept some of their Jewish traditions and passed them down to their descendants. I don’t know if the person buried here was a converso – but it was the first thought I had when I saw this gravestone.
