According to the Florentine Codex, this was the sixth month, celebrated with feasts and offerings in honor of the sacred force of rain.
This was the sixth festival of the year, at which time a stew of maize and beans was consumed. The festival celebrated the return of rains and the hope of a good harvest. At the end of the festival sacrifices were made by drowning people in the lake. The principal priest carried a bag of incense made from paper, adorned with seashells, and filled with yauhtli in powder form.
