History[]
Tecciztecatl (Classical Nahuatl: Tēcciztēcatl) was an Aztec lunar deity representing the "man-in-the-moon," and the son of Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue.
The Aztecs believed that they lived in a universe dominated by generations of sun gods; the current one, known as Tonatiuh, was the fifth. After the fourth sun perished, the Aztecs built a bonfire to sacrifice the next volunteer. Two gods – Nanahuatzin and Tecciztecatl – vied for the honor. Nanahuatzin was chosen and Tecciztecatl hesitated at the last minute. Nanahuatzin jumped into the fire but Tecciztecatl mustered his courage and followed, resulting in two suns. The gods, angry that Tecciztecatl followed Nanahuatzin, threw a rabbit at Tecciztecatl and dimmed his brightness to the point where he could only be seen at night.
