Iglesia de San Juan

This is a Mayan church

image

It was built as a Catholic Church, and the Maya still say they’re Catholic

image

But the Vatican says they’re not Catholic just because they sacrifice live chickens in the church

image

And the floor is covered with pine needles

image

And they think coca-cola is ceremonial.

We weren’t allowed to take pictures inside, but it was mostly candles and statues. There’s no gaudy neon Mary like the approved Catholic church.


One Response to Iglesia de San Juan

  1. The animal sacrifice isn’t really much stranger than the human body parts considered relics by the Catholic church. One church’s pine needles is another church’s Palm Sunday. And Coca-Cola is just good drinkin’.
