Iglesia de San Juan Bautista
Chiapas · Mexico
Comunidad Tzotzil, distante a 10 kilómetros de San Cristóbal de las Casas, a 2,260 m.s.n.m., de origen prehispánico que ejerce su autoridad con base en los usos y costumbres. San Juan Bautista, San Pedro, San Sebastián, son los tres barrios que conforman este centro ceremonial, cada uno con su panteón presidido por unas gigantescas cruces que presentan a Chul Metic (Dios Madre) y a Chul Totic (Dios Padre), allí se encuentra la sede de la autoridad y el lugar donde el sincretismo religioso da su máxima expresión: el templo de San Juan Bautista, cuyo profundo significado mezcla la tradición cristiana con las raíces prehispánicas.
