The Maya also gave offerings such as; jade, gold, masks, shells, carved human bone and ceremonial or sacred tools.
Marriage was another celebrated ritual. Marriages were normally arranged. The age of marriage changed with the rise and fall of the Mayan population. When the population was very small, the young people would be married at a younger age. In most cases, the matchmaking was done at a very young age, some even when the couple were just infants.
Dance rituals were performed to communicate with the Gods. They would wear masks and costumes which made them appear like Gods. Their belief was that if they looked like the Gods, then their spirit would be taken over by the Gods.
