Danza de Abraham y Isaac, January 6-7

A religious celebration of the Epiphany, marked with a dance. Characters dressed as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob perform a traditional dance with the devil known as Kakaxkal, who looks like a horse. There is a procession of the baby Jesus, and an offering of corn. In Dzitnup, Yucatán, Cortez's men appeared on horseback, and the teponaxtle drum is used for music making. These slides document musicians, dances, costumes, masks, processions, offerings, ephemera, and other traditions associated with this festival.
