Here is where the Acatecs and Zitlatecs ask for rain and worship the Christian cross as well as the sacred stone. Here, the Tiger fights in order to imitate the sounds of thunder and lightening and invoke their presence. The more fights that are bought about, the greater the sacrifice will be, and therefore, the more abundant the rains. Fruits an flowers will flourish, food that will be offered up.
