The Tzolk'in is a sacred calendar used by the ancient Maya civilization. It consists of 260 days, combining 20 day names with 13 numbers. Each day has its own unique significance, influencing various aspects of life, such as agriculture, rituals, and personal destiny. The Tzolk'in is often used in conjunction with the Haab', the solar calendar, to create a complete understanding of time.
This calendar is not just a way to track days; it also plays a crucial role in Maya spirituality and culture. Many Maya people today still use the Tzolk'in for ceremonies and to guide their daily lives, reflecting its enduring importance in their traditions.
