The Procession of the Skulls

On November 1st, we went to San Jose, a small community around the back side of the lake, for the Procession of the Skulls. This ceremony has been performed on this date since the 1400's ... apparently the skulls are those of three very powerful shamans of the Itza tribe, who are honored at this time every year with a mass and a public procession from house to house throughout the village. It is considered very good luck for your household if the skulls visit.
