On Mother's Day, a big thank you to all Mothers

This Mayan Mother, is lighting Candles, a Mayan ritual, in a Catholic Church, to bring good fortune to her many family members. Ancient Pagan and recent (1630's) Christian religious beliefs are practiced, and even combined in Guatemala. This Church in Chichicastenango was full of a mix of Mayan and Catholic worshipers during Semana Santa Week.
