Many different incidents linked to this San Juan Chamula cemetery located in Mexico. It is a blend of Mexican culture and local Tzotzil culture. It is said that the old church was burned. Also, the remarkable Church of San Juan is especially notable for its lack of pews, pine-bough-covered floor, and sacrificed chickens. Moreover, the statues of the saints from the San Sebastian ruins were brought over but are not as highly regarded, even having been turned around for many years as the citizens were angry the saints didn’t protect their original home. The mix of Catholicism and local Mayan religions makes this city and graveyard creepy yet fascinating areas to visit.
