Tecuilhutontli, month of the nobility



10-29 July

In these holidays we thank salt and all the people who work in this industry; in ancient Mexico, they were generally women. With the name Uixticihuatl "Woman of the salt mines." You can dance and sing, the flowers of cempoaxochitl are also used in these ceremonies, but don't get too tired as the dance should last for 10 days. The prince of flowers, Xochipilli, also participates in the events. The attire is blue and white, as they are representing Chalchiuhtlicue, and a shield of flowers and yellow feathers as pendants are also used. Take the aromatic flower Iztauhyotl to all the festivities. In this ceremonies I think we should also include all those people who we have turned "invisible" during this month let them dance and have fun, these are their celebrations!

 

 

Happiness for everyone, there is water and fields grow. Decorate your environment with water flowers like lilies. If you happen to see the president during the festivities, he should be dancing and he should hand over a gift to you, this is also expected from municipal presidents and other big honchos of the nation, in fact, the festivities have the name "of nobility" because all the noble men had the obligation of sharing the wealth with his people, organizing and offering the festivities. During this time, the use of octli (also known as pulque, the Mexican equivalent of Europe's wine) was distributed abundantly throughout the population.
