The famous church of San Juan Chamula.
Here my parents promised to love one another until death.
They chose the old rituals instead of a Christian marriage.
In the church you can not film or photograph, you are caught risking up to nine months in prison, natives were even lynched when they made pictures for tourists against payment. The atmosphere is very special, the ground is always covered with fresh pine needles. Hundreds of candles are burning everywhere.Masses of flowers adorn the altar and the statues. Sometimes you can see a real Shaman at work, a chicken is kept over the sick to catch the bad forces, then they are turned around and buried outside. Along the walls are Catholic saints with a mirror on the chest, in this you can recognize your self / soul. In the church only Mayan rituals are held, the Catholic priest keeps his services outside the church. Who ever was there will never forget the atmosphere again.
