A woman holds dolls depicting the folk saint Maximon, during the saint's feast day celebrations in San Andres Itzapa, west of Guatemala City, on Oct. 28, 2016. He is often associated – though not by the official church – with St. Simon the Zealot, whose feast day is Oct. 28. But unlike other saints in Latin America, Maximon is seen by his followers as being able to grant both good and evil requests – from helping to yield better crops to finding love to recovering from an illness to taking revenge on an enemy.
