Talk:Cult of Jesus Christzalcoatl (Montezuma's Revenge)

Just a small point, Aztec didn't sacrifice human to quetzacoatl, xipe totec would probably fit better. As a god of agriculture, he was said to die and come back to life every year. To show this, the priest would kill a youngster in front of the population, bring the corpse inside, flay it then come out wearing the skin as a symbol of resurection. The canibalistic part could go with it: a youngster is killed and after the priest comes out, he offer bits of flesh to other saying "this is my flesh, this is my blood". quite potent.

Another possibility is that huitzilopotchli has been melded with the christian God and it is to him they offer human sacrifice while the ask Exuz (jesus) to intereceded for them (since he offered himself as a human sacrifice to his father).--Marcpasquin 02:08, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
