Burning of the Devil

This is the festival when Guatemalans clear out the debris of the year that is about to end. All over the country Guatemalans find everything that they no longer need, which they can burn, such as waste paper and things form the house that they no longer use etc. They make everything they have collected into a pile outside of their houses and then set it on fire. The idea behind the festival is to cleanse their households for the holy weeks ahead.
