A woman smokes a cigar as she pays homage before an image of San Simon in the municipality of San Andres Iztapa in Chimaltenango, some 40 km west of Guatemala City, on October 28, 2016, during a pagan festival to honor 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.
