CHA’A’CHÁAK IN HUHÍ AT THE YUCATAN PENINSULA // Tomsk Journal of Linguistics and Anthropology. 2020. Issue 4 (30). P. 148-160

The objective of this article is to analyze the cha'a'cháak – an agricultural ceremony at the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The cha'a'cháak 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'cháak ceremony also gets disappeared.

Keywords: cha'a'cháak, henequen agroindustry, Yucatán, Mexico
