It may come as a surprise that certain religious groups in Guatemala worship a deity named Maximon who loves drinking liquor, and he wants you to drink with him.
In the center of the room, the statue of Maximon, sat adorned in colorful scarves with money stuffed in between them. In his mouth rested an unlit cigar.
There were three local men alternated between gaily dancing about the room and crying into each other’s arms, wailing for forgiveness for their past sins.
