Guatemalan Traditions

Guatemalan tradicions are very intouch with our mayan ancestors. At my school we have a culture day where each class does a cultural presentacion. One time my kaqchiquel theacher (kaqchikel is a native language in guatemala) brought some people to play fire football witch is a mix of socer and basket ball with a flaming ball,it used to be played by mayans. In new years we have something called a "combate" where people dress up in elaborate and fun costumes and march while dancing around theyr town. On holy week we have something called a "procecion" where people march carying giant religius statues each telling a bible story
