Let's hope that Mark Rey has the same sense as well...


"Tezcatlipoca, generally considered the most powerful god, was the god
of night, sorcery, and destiny. The Aztecs believed that he was the
reason for war. One reason the Aztecs gave sacrifice to Tezcatlipoca
was so that there would be peace. Another reason that they gave him
sacrifice is so that their destiny would be an honorable one.

The Aztecs would chose a volunteer and allow him to live a luxurious
life for a year. This person would represent Tezcalipoca on earth; he
would also get four beautiful women as his companions until the day he
was to die came. He would continually go through the streets of the
city playing his flute. On the day the Aztecs have a feast in
Tezcatlipoca's honor, the man would climb the pyramid, break his
flute and surrender to the priest who would sacrifice him. This was one
of the more solemn festivities of the Aztec. Sahagun compared it to the
Christian Easter.
