Description
Mayan women and children fill their jugs of water at the local water well. They are wearing red outfits. Chajul's Catholic church is in the background. In 1980, the Catholic Church had to pull out of the Quiché Department, where Chajul is located, after three priests were killed. Catholic workers did not return to the region until late 1984. Mujeres mayas y niños llenan sus jarras de agua en el pozo de agua local. Ellas portan ropa roja. La iglesia católica de Chajul se ve al fondo. En 1980, la iglesia católica tuvo que retirarse del Departamento de El Quiché, donde se encuentra Chajul, después de que mataron a tres sacerdotes. Los trabajadores católicos no regresaron a la región hasta fines de 1984.
