Picture: left from Maya of Guatemala, Life and Dress by Carmen Peterson.  "These three people,... are about to return to their duties within the church.  They are dressed in full ceremonial robes.  The man takes back the silver monstrance to replace it on the altar after carrying it in procession.  He does not touch it but holds it with a special ceremonial cloth; likewise the woman with the candles for the altar.  During their year of duty with the Confraternity the work in their fields and houses will be done for them by others of the community."
