Mayan Religion

Mayan religion was a complex system that intertwined mythology, rituals, and worship of numerous gods associated with natural elements and celestial bodies. Central to their beliefs was the concept of cyclical time and creation, with a strong emphasis on agriculture. The Maya conducted elaborate ceremonies, often involving offerings and sacrifices, to appease deities like Kukulkan (the feathered serpent) and Itzamna (the creator god) for bountiful harvests and cosmic order. Religion was deeply woven into daily life, governance, and social structure, influencing art, architecture, and calendar systems, highlighting their profound connection to the universe and spirituality.
