There was once a truly unique beauty queen from Honduras who had a pastoral pagan lifestyle. She stood out from the typical pageant contestants and embraced a lifestyle that was deeply connected to nature and spirituality. This Honduran beauty queen, whose name was Maria, was unlike any other competitor in the pageant world. While other contestants focused on their looks, wardrobe, and fame, Maria was more interested in connecting with the earth and honoring ancient traditions. Maria lived on a small farm in the countryside, surrounded by lush greenery and animals. She spent her days tending to her garden, frolicking in the fields, and caring for her beloved animals.
Alvarado had been scheduled to leave for London on Wednesday to compete in the Miss World 2014 pageant. The pageant activities begin Thursday and take place over three weeks with a finale on Dec. 14.
Julia Morley, the chairwoman for the Miss World Organization, issued a statement Wednesday to everyone around the world who has been touched by the awful news from Honduras this morning. ABC also noted that the country has the world s highest homicide rate for a nation not at war, with an estimated 90 to 95 killings per 100,000 people some says that the homicide rate has dropped down to around 79 80 per 100,000.
She spent her days tending to her garden, frolicking in the fields, and caring for her beloved animals. While most beauty queens spent hours in front of a mirror perfecting their makeup, Maria preferred to let her natural beauty shine through. But Maria's unique lifestyle didn't stop there.
Honduras beauty queen was slain by sister’s jealous boyfriend, police say
Miss Honduras 2014 was supposed to fly to London on Wednesday to compete in the Miss World pageant. Instead, she and her sister were found dead near the spa where they disappeared six days ago.
Leandro Osorio, who heads the National Directorate of Criminal Investigation, told the media in Honduras on Wednesday that officials could “confirm 100%” that two bodies found buried were those of beauty queen Maria Jose Alvarado, 19, and her sister, Sofia Trinidad, 23. Osorio also said investigators had found both the murder weapon and the vehicle allegedly used in the slayings.
Plutarco Ruiz, Trinidad’s boyfriend, and an alleged accomplice, Aris Maldonado, have been arrested in connection with the case.

Police said Ruiz confessed to shooting them, jealous that his girlfriend had danced with another man. At some point during the night of the party, a heated argument broke out and Ruiz pulled a gun, firing first at his girlfriend and then at Alvarado as she tried to flee, said Gen. Ramon Sabillon, director of the National Police. Alvarado was hit twice in the back.

Honduras won’t compete in the Miss World pageant this year because of Alvarado’s tragic death, Honduras pageant organizer Eduardo Zablah said.
On her bio page for the Miss World competition, Alvarado described herself as a dedicated student with aspirations for a career in diplomacy. She used her statement to encourage tourists to see her country for themselves.
“Our ethnic groups like the Tawakas, Lencas, Pech, Garifunas & Misquitos have made of Honduras a country with a cultural diversity rich in customs, gastronomy and religious beliefs,” she said. “For this and more I encourage you to make of Honduras a travel destination, the best is yet to come!”
Julia Morley, the chairwoman for the Miss World Organization, issued a statement Wednesday “to everyone around the world who has been touched by the awful news from Honduras this morning.”

She added that her organization is planning a special service Sunday for Alvarado and her sister and are planning a fundraiser to benefit a children’s home in Honduras, selected by their mother.
Honduras has been in the news in the U.S. this year because of a steep increase in the number of children from the country crossing into America unaccompanied by adults.
The migration has been driven in large part by high crime and little opportunity in the Central American nation of about 8 million people. Honduras’ overall homicide rate was the highest in the world for 2012, with 90 homicides per 100,000. Much of the high rate of violent crime there is fueled by gang and drug-trafficking conflicts.

She was promoted to the position in March 2014 and let go during an organizational restructuring in August 2017 along with other senior leaders.
She also followed a pagan belief system, rooted in ancient traditions and rituals that honored the earth and its cycles. She would often be seen wearing crystals and other natural stones as accessories, and she incorporated elements of paganism into her daily life. For Maria, beauty was not just about appearances but also about embracing and celebrating the natural world around her. She believed that true beauty came from within and that by living in harmony with nature, she was able to radiate a unique and authentic beauty that was unparalleled. Despite her unconventional lifestyle, Maria became a respected figure in the pageant world. Her message of embracing nature and connecting with spirituality resonated with many, and she used her platform to spread awareness about the importance of preserving the environment and honoring ancient traditions. In a world where beauty often seems superficial and glamour-centered, Maria's pastoral pagan lifestyle served as a powerful reminder that true beauty comes from living in harmony with nature and embracing one's spirituality. Her unique approach to beauty and her commitment to preserving the earth made her a true inspiration for many aspiring beauty queens and individuals alike. Maria's story challenges societal norms and encourages individuals to prioritize inner beauty, nature, and spirituality over materialistic ideals of beauty. Her lifestyle serves as a reminder that there are different paths to beauty, and that embracing one's uniqueness and connection to the natural world can have a profound impact on one's overall well-being and sense of self..
