Inspired by Guatemalan Tradition: Enormous kites "BARRILETES", some more than 40 feet in diameter, are painted by hand throughout the year and flown over the graves of family members while flowers are strewn on the ground below.⁠ A mixture of Catholic and Mayan religious traditions, this unique celebration was created by the Maya to ward off bad spirits on All Saints Day, the day in which the deceased are allowed to visit the human world. Not wanting the bad spirits to return to earth, the kites are created to make noise to scare them off and also to carry messages to heaven for our loved ones.
