Below the video is a prayer from the Popul Vuh, an ancient collection of prayers from Central America, the region now called Guatemala.

Día de los Muertos in the City of Lake Worth is everyone’s festival! No matter what country or culture you come from. Everyone is welcome.

For more insight into ancient Central American traditions what follows is a prayer from the Popul Vuh, included in the chapter titled, “Native American Prayer” in The Interfaith Prayer Book. This is a compilation of prayers by author Ted Brownstein and the Lake Worth Interfaith Network, the 2014 expanded edition:


Make my guilt vanish,
Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth;
Grant me a favor,
Give me strength, give me courage
In my heart, in my head,
Since you are my mountain and my plain;
May there be no falsehood and no stain,
And may this reading of the Popul Vuh
Come out clear as dawn,
And may the sifting of ancient times
Be complete in my heart, in my head;
And make my guilt vanish,
My grandmothers, grandfathers,
And however many souls of the dead there may be,
You who speak with the Heart of Sky and Earth,
May all of you together give strength
To the reading I have undertaken.
