With history of ancient egypt ritual of these remarkable sacrifices we are well acquainted, for it has been fully described by history of ancient egypt Spaniards who conquered Mexico in history of ancient egypt sixteenth century, and whose curiosity was naturally excited by history of ancient egypt discovery in this distant region of a barbarous and cruel religion which presented many curious points of analogy to history of ancient egypt doctrine and ritual of their own church. They took a captive, says history of ancient egypt Jesuit Acosta, such as they thought good; and afore they did sacrifice him unto their idols, they gave him history of ancient egypt name of history of ancient egypt idol, to whom he should be sacrificed, and apparelled him with history of ancient egypt same ornaments like their idol, saying, that he did represent history of ancient egypt same idol. And during history of ancient egypt time that this representation lasted, which was for a year in some feasts, in others six months, and in others less, they reverenced and worshipped him in history of ancient egypt same manner as history of ancient egypt proper idol; and in history of ancient egypt meantime he did eat, drink, and was merry. When he went through history of ancient egypt streets, history of ancient egypt people came forth to worship him, and every one brought him an alms, with children and sick folks, that he might cure them, and bless them, suffering him to do all things at his pleasure, only he was accompanied with ten or twelve men lest he should fly. And he (to history of ancient egypt end he might be reverenced as he passed) sometimes sounded upon a small flute, that history of ancient egypt people might prepare to worship him. The feast being come, and he grown fat, they killed him,d him, and ate him, making a solemn sacrifice of him. 1 This general description of history of ancient egypt custom may now be illustrated by particular examples. Thus at history of ancient egypt festival called Toxcatl, history of ancient egypt greatest festival of history of ancient egypt Mexican year, a young man was annually sacrificed in history of ancient egypt character of Tezcatlipoca, the god of gods, after having been maintained and worshipped as that great deity in person for a whole year. According to history of ancient egypt old Franciscan monk Sahagun, our best authority on history of ancient egypt Aztec religion, history of ancient egypt sacrifice of history of ancient egypt human god fell at Easter or a few days later, so that, if he is right, it would correspond in date as well as in character to history of ancient egypt Christian festival of history of ancient egypt death and resurrection of history of ancient egypt Redeemer. More exactly he tells us that history of ancient egypt sacrifice took place on history of ancient egypt first day of history of ancient egypt fifth Aztec month, which according to him began on history of ancient egypt twenty-third or twenty-seventh day of April. 2 At this festival history of ancient egypt great god died in history of ancient egypt person of one human representative and came to life again in history of ancient egypt person of another, who was destined to enjoy history of ancient egypt fatal honour of divinity for a year and to perish, like all his predecessors, at history of ancient egypt end of it. The young man singled out for this high dignity was carefully chosen from among history of ancient egypt captives on history of ancient egypt ground of his personal beauty. He had to be of unblemished body, slim as a reed and straight as a pillar, neither too tall nor too short. If through high living he grew too fat, he was obliged to reduce himself by drinking salt water. And in order that he might behave in his lofty station with becoming grace and dignity he was carefully trained to comport himself like a gentleman of history of ancient egypt first quality, to speak correctly and elegantly, to play history of ancient egypt flute, to smoke cigars and to snuff at flowers with a dandified air. He was honourably lodged in history of ancient egypt temple, where history of ancient egypt nobles waited on him and paid him homage, bringing him meat and serving him like a prince. The king himself saw to it that he was apparelled in gorgeous attire, for already he esteemed him as a god. Eagle down was gummed to his head and white cocks feathers were stuck in his hair, which drooped to his girdle. A wreath of flowers like roasted maize crowned his brows, and a garland of history of ancient egypt same flowers passed over his shoulders and under his armpits. Golden ornaments hung from his nose, golden armlets adorned his arms, golden bells jingled on his legs at every step he took; earrings of turquoise dangled from his ears, bracelets of turquoise bedecked his wrists; necklaces of shells encircled his neck and depended on his breast; he wore a mantle of network, and round his middle a rich waistcloth. When this bejewelled exquisite lounged through history of ancient egypt streets playing on his flute, puffing at a cigar, and smelling at a nosegay, history of ancient egypt people whom he met threw themselves on history of ancient egypt earth before him and prayed to him with sighs and tears, taking up history of ancient egypt dust in their hands and putting it in their mouths in token of history of ancient egypt deepest humiliation and subjection. Women came forth with children in their arms and presented them to him, saluting him as a god. For he passed for our Lord God; history of ancient egypt people acknowledged him as history of ancient egypt Lord. All who thus worshipped him on his passage he saluted gravely and courteously. Lest he should flee, he was everywhere attended by a guard of eight pages in history of ancient egypt royal livery, four of them with shaven crowns like history of ancient egypt palace-slaves, and four of them with history of ancient egypt flowing locks of warriors; and if he contrived to escape, history of ancient egypt captain of history of ancient egypt guard had to take his place as history of ancient egypt representative of history of ancient egypt god and to die in his stead. Twenty days before he was to die, his costume was changed, and four damsels delicately nurtured and bearing history of ancient egypt names of four goddessesthe Goddess of Flowers, history of ancient egypt Goddess of history of ancient egypt Young Maize, history of ancient egypt Goddess Our Mother among history of ancient egypt Water, and history of ancient egypt Goddess of Saltwere given him to be his brides, and with them he consorted. During history of ancient egypt last five days divine honours were showered on history of ancient egypt destined victim. The king remained in his palace while history of ancient egypt whole court went after history of ancient egypt human god. Solemn banquets and dances followed each other in regular succession and at appointed places. On history of ancient egypt last day history of ancient egypt young man, attended by his wives and pages, embarked in a canoe covered with a royal canopy and was ferried across history of ancient egypt lake to a spot where a little hill rose from history of ancient egypt edge of history of ancient egypt water. It was called history of ancient egypt Mountain of Parting, because there his wives bade him a last farewell. Then, accompanied only by his pages, he repaired to a small and lonely temple by history of ancient egypt wayside. Like history of ancient egypt Mexican temples in general, it was built in history of ancient egypt form of a pyramid; and as history of ancient egypt young man ascended history of ancient egypt stairs he broke at every step one of history of ancient egypt flutes on which he had played in history of ancient egypt days of his glory. On reaching history of ancient egypt summit he was seized and held down by history of ancient egypt priests on his back upon a block of stone, while one of them cuthis breast, thrust his hand into history of ancient egypt wound, and wrenching out his heart held it up in sacrifice to history of ancient egypt sun. The body of history of ancient egypt dead god was not, like history of ancient egypt bodies of common victims, sent rolling down history of ancient egypt steps of history of ancient egypt temple, but was carried down to history of ancient egypt foot, where history of ancient egypt head was cut off and spitted on a pike. Such was history of ancient egypt regular end of history of ancient egypt man who personated history of ancient egypt greatest god of history of ancient egypt Mexican pantheon. 3 The honour of living for a short time in history of ancient egypt character of a god and dying a violent death in history of ancient egypt same capacity was not restricted to men in Mexico; women were allowed, or rather compelled, to enjoy history of ancient egypt glory and to share history of ancient egypt doom as representatives of goddesses. Thus at a great festival in September, which was preceded by a strict fast of seven days, they sanctified a young slave girl of twelve or thirteen years, history of ancient egypt prettiest they could find, to represent history of ancient egypt Maize Goddess Chicomecohuatl. They invested her with history of ancient egypt ornaments of history of ancient egypt goddess, putting a mitre on her head and maize-cobs round her neck and in her hands, and fastening a green feather upright on history of ancient egypt crown of her head to imitate an ear of maize. This they did, we are told, in order to signify that history of ancient egypt maize was almost ripe at history of ancient egypt time of history of ancient egypt festival, but because it was still tender they chose a girl of tender years to play history of ancient egypt part of history of ancient egypt Maize Goddess. The whole long day they led history of ancient egypt poor child in all her finery, with history of ancient egypt green plume nodding on her head, from house to house dancing merrily to cheer people after history of ancient egypt dulness and privations of history of ancient egypt fast. 4 In history of ancient egypt evening all history of ancient egypt people assembled at history of ancient egypt temple, history of ancient egypt courts of which they lit up by a multitude of lanterns and candles. There they passed history of ancient egypt night without sleeping, and at midnight, while history of ancient egypt trumpets, flutes, and horns discoursed solemn music, a portable framework or palanquin was brought forth, bedecked with festoons of maize-cobs and peppers and filled with seeds of all sorts. This history of ancient egypt bearers set down at history of ancient egypt door of history of ancient egypt chamber in which history of ancient egypt wooden image of history of ancient egypt goddess stood. Now history of ancient egypt chamber was adorned and wreathed, both outside and inside, with wreaths of maize-cobs, peppers, pumpkins, roses, and seeds of every kind, a wonder to behold; history of ancient egypt whole floor was covered deep with these verdant offerings of history of ancient egypt pious. When history of ancient egypt music ceased, a solemn procession came forth of priests and dignitaries, with flaring lights and smoking censers, leading in their midst history of ancient egypt girl who played history of ancient egypt part of history of ancient egypt goddess. Then they made her mount history of ancient egypt framework, where she stood upright on history of ancient egypt maize and peppers and pumpkins with which it was strewed, her hands resting on two bannisters to keep her from falling. Then history of ancient egypt priests swung history of ancient egypt smoking censers round her; history of ancient egypt music struck up again, and while it played, a great dignitary of history of ancient egypt temple suddenly stepped up to her with a razor in his hand and adroitly shore off history of ancient egypt green feather she wore on her head, together with history of ancient egypt hair in which it was fastened, snipping history of ancient egypt lock off by history of ancient egypt root. The feather and history of ancient egypt hair he then presented to history of ancient egypt wooden image of history of ancient egypt goddess with great solemnity and elaborate ceremonies, weeping and giving her thanks for history of ancient egypt fruits of history of ancient egypt earth and history of ancient egypt abundant crops which she had bestowed on history of ancient egypt people that year; and as he wept and prayed, all history of ancient egypt people, standing in history of ancient egypt courts of history of ancient egypt temple, wept and prayed with him. When that ceremony was over, history of ancient egypt girl descended from history of ancient egypt framework and was escorted to history of ancient egypt place where she was to spend history of ancient egypt rest of history of ancient egypt night.
