Here is a famous Catholic church in Chichi. When the Spaniards forced the Mayan people to build this they sort of ticked them and made 14 steps the the front which is a sacred number for them and their gods and like other catholic churches they light candles inside not to el Chisto (Christ) but to the sun, rain, earth, and life I think it is. outside they burn incense and wave it around to their gods as well. Here are photos of Mayan people covering the steps outside. Then the cemetery we went to. Garbage is every place you look. Like this photo with piles of it in the foreground.
