The cross is not exclusive of Judeo-Christian; even Chiapas and parts of Huehuetenango, it is still used to keep out evil spirits in some villages. Also as symbolic of purification, the Mayas fasted in the final five days of your calender as well as for special holidays. Juan Antonio Valadés,PhD in Archaeology

1. Decline of Jesuit cultural heritage
2. Trend towards a secular secularized culture
3. Decidedly rationalist attitude
4. Precedence of natural science over religious dogma
5. Severe criticism of the role of the church in society, especially the fraier and nun monasteries. These have sort to excessive economic power of some brotherhood, their large number, the lack of administrative and fiscal control by the authorities and public manisfestations of piety, the latter listed as signs of backwardness and fanaticism, especially those of Holy Week.
