Pictures of San Juan Chamula

Sorry these pictures are soo big!! I got them off the internet. (Just click on the picture and the full size will pop up). These are pictures of San Juan Chamula and that is the town I couldn't take pictures in. Now you can see what I was talking about!

The church and courtyard where the parade and fireworks were at.

Inside the church. Those are the banners hanging from the walls I was talking about and the elaborate altar in front. This looks like a typical Sunday service with lots of candles where single family units have their own service.

The sheep skin vest things! Sorry if you didn't get this kind of picture in your head after I wrote about it! I'm not the best at describing things!

This is part of the cemetery. Very primitive. This picture also shows the women's elaborate blouses and their black sheep skin skirts.

Los autoridades with their bastones. This is the typical setting where they bring justice to the community.
