Worry Dolls - History and Tradition
Worry dolls (also named trouble dolls; Spanish Muñeca
quitapena) are small, mostly hand-made dolls that originate
from the highland indigenous people of Guatemala but are
also found in Mexico.
In the dolls original Guatemalan tradition, a local legend
about the origin of the Muñeca quitapena refers to a Mayan
princess named Ixmucane. The princess received a special
gift from the sun god which would allow her to solve any
problem a human could worry about.
In traditional and modern times, worry dolls are given or
lent to brooding and sorrowful children. They would tell their
doll about their sorrows, fears and worries, then hide it
under their pillow during the night. After this, the child will
literally sleep over the whole thing. At the next morning, all
sorrows are said to have been taken away by the worry
doll.
Today, worry dolls are sold in huge quantity in Guatemala
and Mexico. Nuns and poor children sell them to tourists as
souvenirs.
