Janet Schwartz Photo
 Buscando a San Juan, 2003Photo-painting: ©Janet Schwartz In their quest to find spiritual meaning, traditional Catholics in San Juan Chamula, Chiapas, flock to Saint John Baptist Church, where photographs are prohibited. Inside they ask favors of Saints, drink alcohol and bring along shamans to ward off evil spirits who cause illness or sin. Bibles are refuted by Chamulans and the only sacrament received is baptism.
