'''Maya costumbre''' refers to the [[syncretic]] religios practices of post-colonial [[Maya peoples]]. The term is necessarily imprecise because there are some 30(?) distinct modern Maya [[ethnic group]]s spread over a region that encompasses parts of five countries and a number of different ecological zones. Needless to say, religious practices vary widely, but a number of prominent themes and a shared heritage are held in common by most or all of the many local variations of costumbre. | |||

Religion
Traditional Maya religious custom, or costumbre, is a syncretic conglomeration of pre-Columbian traditions and Catholicism. It combines devotion to the Catholic saints and celebrations of the Catholic festivals with traditional dances and elaborate ceremonies conducted at ceremonial sites that are scattered throughout the surrounding mountains.
Evangelical Protestantism has become increasingly strong since its arrival in the region in the 1970s.[1]
