A man is “cleansed” at the Temple of San Simon in the municipality of San Andres Itzapa, Chimaltenango, Guatemala, on October 28, 2022, during a pagan festival to honour to the saint. Thousands of devotees bring cigarettes and spirits offerings to the saint – not recognized by the Catholic Church – who is believed to be the protector of the homeless, prostitutes, alcoholics and drug-traffickers.
