textile tradition Sacred Bird.

The quetzal is the national bird of Guatemala, and one of the most important textile symbols, often present in traditional clothing. In a number of modern Maya dialects, the name means ‘treasured’ or ‘sacred’. Legend has it that long ago, the Quetzal would sing beautifully, but has been silent since the Spanish conquest. The red chest is representative of the blood spilled while the Maya people tried to protect themselves and their land.

Maya Gods are frequently depicted with jaguar attributes. The jaguar is said to have the ability to cross between worlds, as represented by daytime and nighttime. The world of the living and the earth are associated with the day, while and the spirit world and the ancestors are associated with the night.

The rooster is associated with marriage (see also, the turkey). In some Maya communities, proposals are accompanied by the groom's family presenting the potential bride's family with between one and three roosters, depending on how they regard their prospective daughter-in-law. Those who receive three roosters can feel proud that the mother-in-law is pleased with the union.
