notes:
This sacrificial rite was celebrated on the festival of tlacaxipehualiztli in honor of Xipe Tótec. Xipe Tótec, "our flayed lord," was the god of agriculture, death, rebirth, and the seasons. At his festival in the spring, men were tethered to an altar stone, or temalacatl. Once defeated, the victim was flayed and his skin worn by priests. A description of this festival is given in the Codex Durán
