Welcome to Yucatan Adventure
Your Gateway to the best Chichen Itza,
Yucatan, Mexico has to offer. |
|
|
|
|
November 1st and 2nd
are of the utmost importance to all
Mexican families; during this time,
families prepare special altars and
meals to honor their beloved ancestors,
family members, and friends. In
Yucatan, this tradition is known as U Hanal Pixan, which means “Meals for the
Souls” — in the rest of Mexico this time
is known as “Day of the Death” — a time
to celebrate life and death cycle and
the human soul with love and respect.
U Hanal Pixan is a tradition rooted in
pre-Colonial beliefs. The altar
honors the departed souls, which are
believed to return on these dates to
celebrate life and their families, in a
ritual with a special meal dedicated to
them with joy and much love. Rural
Mexico continues to celebrate these
dates with the utmost care and honor,
each family decorates their loved one's
burial place — the cemeteries of most
villages are filled with lively colors,
music, prayers, flowers, and candles.
At Hacienda Chichen, a lovely altar was
placed inside the
Colonial Chapel
to
honor the family’s ancestors and dear
friends. Each altar is decorated
with flowers, candles, angels, and
photographs of the beloved departed
souls; some of their favorite personal
items were placed near each photo with
special meals, breads, candies, and
beverages set in the altar with much
care.

Congratulations
to the Maya Foundation for its new Maya
title: "IN LÁAKEECH"
On December 2007, the Maya Foundation
was granted its non-profit status in Mexico.
To celebrate this important event, the Maya
Elder Wiseman, known as J-Men, granted the
foundation its new title:
In Láakeech,
also spell as In Lakech,
which in Yucatec Maya signifies, "I
recognize you are I, and that I am you," a
holistic expression of unity. The name
clearly exemplifies the Maya Foundation's
mission and vision to bring brotherhood
amongst the human race and a helping hand to
those less fortunate.
