FamilyExpert Tips & Helpful Hints
  • Remind children to be quiet and respectful.
  • Sometimes on the hilltop a shaman kneels amid the candles and the incense smoke to offer prayers on someone's behalf. Supplicants typically bring chocolate, sugar and pastries as an offering to the god. Generally, it's okay if you watch as long as you remain unobtrusive.
