The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

There is a Mayan Church in Chichicastenango

It was less weird because it’s Vatican approved, but it still has a lot of candles.

The Mayan Ceremony we went to was outdoors, because it wouldn’t have been allowed in the church.

I’m not sure if that’s because it involved drawing a skull in sugar

Or because it involves heaping a bunch of flammable things and setting them on fire.

There were candles at the four compass points too, but that’s a normal church level of fire.

The first layer of the heap is pinecones

Then candles, chocolates and cigars.

Then they lit everything on fire

After it was burning they tossed some more candles into the fire.
