When it was Tlaxochimaco, none died. They concerned themselves only with paying honor to the two women, Xiuhtlati and Xilo, although in doing so they did honor to all their gods. Wherefore all the women, the women of Amantlan, every one, assembled there in the temple of their calpulli; there they danced with interlocked arms. This was what was called the interlocked arms dance: the women were pasted with feathers; their faces were painted. The colored feathers with which they were pasted reached to their ankles. Similar were their arms. But only the legs of the men were pasted with colored feathers; their pasted feathering reached to their thighs." |
