travel log
Maximon is a fascinating saint in that the offerings he wants are all vices - money, booze, tobacco - and his story is not the most savory. Essentially, one day, when all the men were out in the field, Maximon stayed home and ended up sleeping with all their wives. The villagers came back, cut off Maximon's arms and legs, and somehow this resulted in him "becoming a god." Maximon, you are my saint.
