Chichicastenango
is a highlands village famous for its traditional open-air
market, boasting a fantastic range of beautiful and
inexpensive traditional crafts. On market days (Thursdays
and Sundays) Chichi is awash in a sea of traditional
costumes representing towns from across the highlands.
Chichicastenango is also well known for its unusual
mixture of the Catholic and Maya religions. Maya priests
make pilgrimages from distant villages to hold ceremonies
and make offerings to their gods ... inside the Catholic
church. |
