The Churches of Chiapas, Mexico







Like most of Mexico, the southeastern state of Chiapas is predominantly Roman Catholic. The liveliest part of every town is the central square, usually flanked by a church on one side and a city hall on another. The churches are often painted bright colors and decorated with banners and flowers. They are at their most beautiful when the sun illuminates their roofs and the wind sends the banners aflutter.
