Here in Xela the life is intertwined  with the MAYAN  culture .  Many women wear the traditiona dress  of a long skirt (corte) and open blouse with embroidery   (huipili)  .   There are many Mayan religious rites  that take place.  Candle  lighting  is frequent. Each color of the candle brings different fortune.  You  can burn red  ones for love, Yellow  for money, and blue for health.  You can also burn black ones when you want bad things to happen to others.  I only burn black  ones when the Yankees play the Red SOX.
