Just a few
minutes walk from the church of Santo Tomás in the center of
Chichicastenango, there is a wooded hill. Atop this hill is an ancient
rock [abaj] with a carved face, known all over Guatemala as
Pascual Abaj. Daily there are Maya priests and priestesses performing
ceremonies there. People come there for all sorts of things: to bless a
marriage, to pray for a good harvest or to give thanks for a good
harvest, or to remedy a problem such as preventing thieves from stealing
your corn. The rites are conducted by the aj'itz [maya
priests] . |
