Adjacent to Murciélagos is the Pet Nah Altar. This is where Mayan women were required to make at least one pilgrimage during their lifetime to honor and bear gifts to Ix Chel. She was the goddess of sex, childbirth, the moon and medicine. Also spelled Ixchel, the “White Lady” was the patron deity of San Gervasio. According to Mayan religion, she was the wife of the sun god, Itzamná Kinich Ahau. Two of their 13 sons created the world.
