On the feast of the flowers Huitzilopochtli was adorned with garlands of flowers, surrounded by offerings of flowers. In all the temples and all the houses, flowers were spread as offerings. And the young men danced in the courtyard of the Temple of Huitzilopochtli, at the base of the great temple, Coatepec. The singers and musicians stood to one side. "And everywhere in the houses, there was singing; there was singing in each one. They sang for their gods: perhaps Omacatl, or Chicomecoatl, or Ehecatl, or Coatl xoxouhqui. Over here, over there, there was singing; song was widespread. Cries were widespread; cries were widespread as there was singing. The singing kept re-echoing in a great din."
