The church fills for mass. San Miguel is the result of
the harmonious juxtaposition of several architectural
styles between the XIII and XVIII centuries. |

The streets that the procession will follow are strewn
with ixak, rush stems. In times past
residents provided their own ixak for the street
in front of their homes. Now the city hall pays to
have the rushes distributed. |
