The 1st: OFFER TO THE LAND, is an andean rite performed in all the regions where they make offers called "payments" to the Mother Land as a sign of retribution and reverence for crops and food it offers to people and animals. Important rite in the andean conception. The Pachamama (Mother Land) plays an important role. For this reason they offer worship to it with an especial ceremony called "Payment to Land" (offers of coca leaves, chicha of jora and huayruros seeds: mystic seeds from the jungle). This rite indicates the beginning of the andean new year. |
