notes:
|
An ancient ritual, the Sun Dance was performed for the god of fertility, Xipe Totec, to ensure success in harvest. The four (symbolic of the four cardinal directions) dancers or voladores would climb a high pole to which they were tethered by cords. The fifth dancer or caporal acted as priest and musician and invoked the god's protection. The dancers would fly around the pole like birds and descend headfirst to ground. Initially suppressed after the conquest, the dance was considered an interesting game by the Spanish.
