Nana Eufernia Cholac Chicol, Mayan priestess or Nana as she is called, was thirteen years old when she visited Guatemala City with her family. She sat listening to the conversations around her when she heard the words, "Washington DC." She had no idea why they struck her as noteworthy; however, on her return to her small town, she asked her mother to teach her to weave.
She practiced for many years and when she was proficient she wove this cloth. She is pointing to the words, "Washington DC." Nana had no idea what or where this was only that it was part of her destiny. She has now made many trips to Washington DC to pray at the Prayer Vigil and honor this vision.
