In case you were wondering what all the Guatemala john the baptistcelebrations were for last night and today: it is John the Baptist Day, which in Guatemala serves to celebrate the nativity of John the Baptist.

It’s a Christian holiday in a predominantly Christian nation, making for all sorts of celebrations, traditional dances, feasting and fireworks!
