The “holy city” of Chichicastenango was settled by indigenous nobility fleeing the Spanish in Utatlan (Quiche Capital 12 miles away) in the late 1520’s. Though the Indians were unable to avoid the conquest, for years they continued worshipping their Maya deities along with those of the Catholic religion, building their famous church of Santo Tomas on the site of an existing Maya Altar.Today clouds of incense spew forth as fervent worshippers and powerful religious elders from all over Guatemala gather to perform a mix of Maya and Catholic ceremonies inside and on the front steps (which cover the original Maya temple steps).

Market days (Thursday and Sundays) offer by far the most impressive sights to visitors, an overwhelming collage of artisans and their handicrafts crowd the church plaza while elaborately dressed men of the Cofradia (spiritual leaders) perform rituals in front of the doorway. Colorful groups of women line the steps nearly buried under brightly striped weavings and bunch of flowers.
