Corazon Mexicaさんのイラストまとめ

Today is the Winter Solstice, the day with the longest night of the year. Today we celebrate the birth of Huitzilopochtli, patron deity of the Mexica, Lord of the Midday Sun. This is His story:

The Mexica adopted the symbol of the eagle as their protector, for it is one of the nahual of their patron deity, Huitzilopochtli, the Midday Sun, and Tonatiuh, Our Father the Sun

The atecocolli or sea conch is one of the sacred instruments of Mexica dance and music. Its shape resembles that of the womb, which carries a baby and prepares for birth. Because of its origin, the conch is associated with the sea, water and fertility

A great column of smoke rose to the Heavens, smoking the house of Citlalinicue and Citlaltonac, Our Mother and Our Father, who, sent Tezcatlipoca down to the Earth. As punishment, Tezcatlipoca cut Tata and Nene's heads and placed them on their bottoms, turning them into dogs

Hungry, the old couple picked them to eat. In that moment, the mamalhuaztli, the fire sticks, fell from the Heaven, and Tata and Nene decided to cook the fish in a fire, unaware that they were also starting the movement of time, creating the first New Fire ceremony

He warned them that, in order to survive, they must hide in the hollow trunk of an ahuehuetl tree and feed only from a single grain of maize

Before our era, there were four eras or Suns, ruled by four different deities. When the last of these Suns, Nahui Atl, Four Water, was reaching its end, Tezcatlipoca appeared before Tata and Nene, an old couple who lived in tranquility

Our ancestors pictured the Underworld as a place of cold, humidity and sorrow. In the interior of the Earth, the dead must cross a painful road, in which their individuality was stripped from them and their spirits were left clean, ready to receive the personality of a new being

Mictlantecuhtli, Lord of Mictlan, is the ruler of death and the regenerator of life for the Mexica or Aztecs

Ever since, we honor the Teteo and Their gifts through song and dance, which remind us of the generosity of Quetzalcoatl
