| Description: | Dead of the Dead ceremonies near Antigua...Kite flying is a national pastime in Guatemala, made with tissue paper, these kites were originally part of an indigenous ceremony of kites decorated by the faces of family members, stories from family history, etc., that would allow the souls of ancestors to recognize their families below. The kites are massive, perhaps 30ft or more in width! |
