Ellen alerted us in the bilingual Sunday school class Sunday that – according to the Mayan solar calendar - today is New Year’s Day. It is a time of reflection about the year ending and looking ahead to the year beginning. According to the calendar, today marks the beginning of Year 5125 and is a year of the Iq, or wind. The Web site of the Guatemala newspaper, Prensa Libre, which had apparently reminded Ellen of the day, included the picture of a Mayan archeological site with a blurb about the holiday.
