Purification Ritual

Mayan Leaders Perform Purification Ritual Following Bush Visit In Guatemala

Mayan spiritual leaders conducted a purification ritual Thursday at a pyramid President Bush visited earlier this week.

The Mayans had led protests against Bush’s trip to the Iximche ruins.

Mayan leader Jorge Morales Toj: "The purpose of the ceremony is to get rid of the bad spirits, to saturate this ancestral place and to ask for better and good paths."
