To satisfy the gods, it is necessary to sacrifice for the gods in order for this great civilized people to survive and live a solid healthy and profitable life. In order for this great civilization to prosper, human sacrifices must be given to the gods. To keep the sun burning and produce light and heat, this is necessary for our crops, agriculture and all life, and we must sacrifice humanity for God. Fortunately, not in today's society, people no longer believe that sacrificing living beings is the reason for traveling the world.
The sacrifice of mankind is very important for the Aztecs and even more important. They accepted the sacrifice of humanity, as their gods, God lived in sacrificing their blood and creating the world including human beings and everything in it. To commemorate the sacrifices of the gods, humans must also sacrifice their blood and life. For this purpose, most Central American cultures are characterized by human sacrifice, and I think most Aztecs are willing to sacrifice. I will explain this in detail in another article. In the spring Tlacaxipehualiztli respecting the plant god Xipe Totec was held. This birthday ceremony requires the sacrifice of captured soldiers. After death, their skin peeled off from them, and priests of Pipe Tote were wearing these human skin during a 20-day ceremony including a gladiator's battle and military ceremonies. In the May ceremony called Toxcatl, people were chosen to represent the god of Tezcatlipoca of fate or destiny
Aztecs began a "battle of flowers" to capture the prisoners' sacrifices called "nextlaualli" ("payment to God"). It is unclear whether Aztecs have sacrificed before Aztec arrives at the Anajuak Valley and learns and absorbs other cultures. The first human sacrifice they reported was dedicated to Xipe Totec, the God of the northern Central America. Aztec's chronicle reports that, under the control of Tizoc, human sacrifice began at "5 knives" or 1484 facilities. Under the guidance of Tlacaelel, human sacrifice has become an important part of Aztec culture, not only for religious reasons but also for political reasons.
