Sunday once marked a sleepy end of the week in San Cristobal de las Casas, a historic town situated high in the mountains of Chiapas in southern Mexico. It was God's day, the day of rest. Not any more. Everyone is in “unrest” in Chiapas now, seven days a week. Even God is said to be on the move. On Sunday, February 19, 1995, over five hundred ranchers and business leaders marched on the San Cristobal cathedral and attacked a sizeable crowd of church‐goers, mostly of Maya descent. The angry demonstrators pelted them with rocks and eggs. According to eye witnesses, six elderly indigenous women saying rosary at the church's front door were among the first hit. Blood ran down 90‐year old Joaquina Pineda, struck in the back of the head
