Mexico: Dawn, Dusk, Ritual and the Afterlife A brief overview through a simple slide show of Mexico’s ancient archeological and sacred sites and rituals: Teotihuacan (City of the Gods) and the sun rise ceremony of the Sun during the Vernal Equinox, carvings of the legendary Quetzalcoatl who promises return very soon, Chichen Itza, the sacred tomb of Chac Mool, magnificent Uxmal, Oxkintok, Sayil, Dzibilchaltun, Kabah, Labna. Then, a significant cultural shift - a remote church also in ruins (and still used by the local people) in Yucatan, and onto Izamel Convento built on top of an ancient pyramid and a blending of cultures - pre columbian elements of worship can still be found, the Pope and the Goddess, Day of the Dead and Night of the Dead (Dia de Muertos, Noches de Muertos) and the Festival of Guadalupe celebrated in the weeks before Christmas. Music composed and performed by Patrick Leonard and Shenkar udistam@yahoo.com please add description
