Three sacred Ya´Axché - Ceiba trees - were planted as part of the proceedings and traditional Maya Pax music was played.
The event was used to give thanks to past Mayan mayors and the heroes of the 1847 War of the Castes in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, in which Mayans fought for equality against the ruling Spanish descendents.
