Mayan Wisdom

Hospitality

The sacred duty to welcome strangers and share what one has.

Hospitality is sacred obligation. Guests must be welcomed, fed, and protected. The stranger might be a god or ancestor in disguise. Refusing hospitality brings spiritual danger; offering it brings blessing. This teaching ensures community resilience.

The stranger at the door may be a god in disguise; welcome them well.
