Examines the centuries-long speculation about why the ritual calendars of the Mayan Indians in Guatemala and the regions of Chiapas and Yucatan in Mexico revolve around festivals in honor of the Catholic saints. This book argues that the Maya identify with Catholicism despite their failure to embrace the religion in any orthodox sense.
