In this paper we study the persistence, despite the long process of evangelization, Zoques ancestral ritual practices in the invocation of native deities, in events where they need the assistance of their gods. This knowledge is held by traditional Catholics self identified locally as "costumbreros" and develop in three planes of space very important socio-religious: the private environment (houses, caves, hills), the Catholic public contexts (church, the chapel and other "sacred" places), and the social public, one that takes place at official events of cultural diffusion, as shown in native Zoque folklore (theatrical).
