Maya
Priests “Cleanse” Cancun of Bush
Evils
People in Cancun, Mexico, where
tight security has been in force
for the last two days, are
breathing a clearer air Friday,
after five Maya priests cleansed
the city of “evils in US
President George W Bush.”
Members of the Ceremonial Center
of Nuevo Valladolid made the
“cleansing” at Las Palapas Park,
where they erected an altar,
burnt incense and drank a beer
called the balche, which is used
to purify the spirit.
“We are getting rid of Bush
evils,” said Priest Romualdo
May.
The ritual is among actions held
in Cancun and across Mexico to
condemn the presence of Bush,
who is attending the
Mexico-US-Canada meeting opened
today.
Talks between Vicente Fox, Bush,
Prime Minister Stephen Harper
and their delegations are
focusing on border security,
regional competition and
cooperation to fight diseases
such as bird flu.
