Resumen:
The objective of this article is to analyze the cha'a'chaak - an
agricultural ceremony at the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The
cha'a'chaak is considered for some as the veneration of the
``supposed'' or ``invisible'' divinity stemming from the Mayan
ancient times. It shows the special ritual of the Mayans on the milpa, a
cropping field. Religious practices were intrinsically related to
agricultural life, especially honoring the Rain God (Chac Mool). The
fruits of sowing and harvesting in the milpa depended on rain. Hence,
the henequen agroindustry attracted development in the region, activity
for the farmers and indirectly also the support of the practices of
religious ceremonies. However, nowadays the agroindustrial development
of henequen disappears in Yucatan and the cha'a'chaak ceremony also gets
disappeared.
