Description:
View of carved religious figures near the front altar of a Roman Catholic church in Antigua, Guatemala, May 10, 1982. Guatemala was introduced to Catholicism during the Spanish colonization of the Americas in the 16th century and the Roman Catholic Church continues to dominate the country's religious society. However by the mid-1980s, Protestantism and particularly the evangelical movement was gaining popularity and it is estimated that Protestants accounted for approximately one third of Guatemala's total population at that time.
