8 Chuwen (Mar. 27th) – aka 8 Batz’, this is the day when Quiche Maya daykeepers celebrate the
renewal of their sacred calendar traditions and initiate new daykeepers; as this also correlates with
the maximum elongation of Venus it suggests a highly auspicious moment, on this last day before
the Wayeb’ begins (in accordance to the daykeepers of the Quiche Maya).
