Mayans Festivals

And celebrations

Every 20th day was a festival, the Maya Empire would walk up the temple. The Mayans would wear fierce masks and towering hats also would make lot of noise. The noise was to make their gods believe they were praying to them. Dances followed a calendar, and ranged from performances with humour and tricks to dances in preparation for war and dances mimicking (and sometimes including)sacrificial events.
