Figures are given for ethnic composition, age and sex distribution, and physical condition of San Cristobal beggars. Interviews identified factors that cause one to adopt begging–temporary unemployment, physical incapacity, family poverty, lack of family, and dissatisfaction with the few existing church and city welfare agencies. The city's tradition of benevolence and lack of welfare institutions have combined to attract beggars from the surrounding highlands. But while economically profitable, begging on the street causes extreme social stigma. Les différentes formes de mendicité ainsi que les attitudes des patrons ou "clients" sont examinées dans la cité cathédrale de San Cristobal, Chiapas, au Mexique. On cite les chiffres relatifs à la composition ethnique, à l'âge et à la distribution des sexes ainsi qu'à la condition physique des mendiants de San Cristobal. Au moyen d'interviews on a identifié les facteurs qui poussent les individus vers la mendicité: chômage temporaire, incapacité physique, pauvreté de la famile, manque de famille, dissatisfaction causée par les agences religieuses de secours ainsi que celles opérées par la ville. Un combinaison de deux facteurs attire les mendiants des montagnes avoisinantes à savoir la tradition de bienfaisance maintenue par la ville ainsi que le manque d'institutions de secours et d'assistance. Cependant tout en apportant des avantages économiques, la mendicité dans les rues provoque une flétrissure sociale extrême. Se examinan las maneras de pedir limosna y las actitudes de los patrones o "clientes" en la ciudad de San Cristóbal, Chiapas, México. Se dan las cifras de la estructura étnica, edad, sexo y la condición física de los limosneros de San Cristóbal. Se identificaron por medio de entrevistas los factores que conducen a pedir limosna—desocupación temporal, incapacidad física, pobreza de familia, falta de familia, y descontento con las pocas agencias de bienestar público de la iglesia y del municipio. La tradición de benevolencia y la falta de instituciones de bienestar público en la ciudad atraen pordioseros de los altos circundantes. Pero, aunque económicamente lucrativo, el pedir limosna por las calles es causa de extremada estigma social.
