Here a religious procession enters the church in Chamula. The people refer to their religion as "Catholic", but is in reality based more on ancient beliefs, with some fusion with Catholicism. In the 1960's they kicked the Catholic priest out of town, removed all of the pews, and began carrying out traditional healing ceremonies on the floor of the church. When you enter the church, the experience is overwhelming. Thousands of candles are burning on the floor and on tables in front of numerous side alters. The floor is covered in pine needles, and copal incense fills the air. Over the years I have seen numerous chickens sacrificed inside the chuch by Shamans as they chant in their ancient Tzotzil language. The healers and those being treated drink lots of Posh inside the church, the rum-like hard alcohol of the region. Everyone also drinks much Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola. I have been told by locals this is because burping expels bad spirits. The only traditional Catholic ceremonies practiced in the church are baptisms, as the Patron Saint of the town is San Juan the Babtist.
