Guatemala - Lake Atitlan in Guatemala has 12 villages, one named after each apostle. Each has their own traditional weaving pattern.
Guatemalan weaving originated over 1,500 years ago with the ancient Maya civilization. According to the legend, the Maya were taught to weave by the moon goddess and cosmic weaver, Ix Chel.
For the Maya, woven textiles are not just practical, they are also symbols of wealth and status.
