  Xiuhtecuhtli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Aztec mythology, Xiuhtecuhtli (also Huehueteotl, "old god") was the personification of life after death, warmth in cold, light in darkness and food during famine.
At the end of the Aztec century (52 years), the gods were thought to be able to end their covenant with humanity.
Feasts were held in honor of Xiuhtecuhtli to keep his favors, and human sacrifices were burned after removing their heart.

The source of this blood appears near the four birds at the outer corners of the page: it originates from the severed arm, leg, torso and head of Tezcatlipoca, one of the greatest gods of central Mexico.
