On the right, Tlaxcalan warriors who were allied with the Spanish against their mortal enemies, the Aztecs.
The Tlaxcaltecs received special distinctions from the Spanish Crown.

They were exempt from paying taxes and Tlaxcala was granted a coat of arms and the title of ‘Loyal City of Tlaxcala’.
They were also granted the right to bear arms and to ride  horses, in addition they were considered as Hidalgos (noble, generous and brave person). They were given land outside their city to populate.

Aztec Human Sacrifice

Religion was of supreme importance in the Aztec Empire for multiple reasons. It provided legitimacy to the rule of the emperors and the social hierarchy of the society.
Additionally, it was closely linked to wars with other city-states since it provided a steady supply of war captives used for human sacrifices during the religious festivals.
Aztec human sacrifice was one of the most important aspects of Aztec religion. It was a central ritual of all religious ceremonies and was thought to appease gods.  The most famous ritual was that of human sacrifice, which was performed during such ceremonies for their gods. Adults and children were sacrificed in order to please their gods, and nourish them, in order to avoid making them angry and casting droughts and other natural disasters upon them. Wars were even waged by the Aztecs to gain sacrificial victims.

10 years after the fall of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán to Spanish troops, Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared in Mexico as the pregnant Mother of God to Blessed Juan Diego, and Aztec Indian, on December 9, 10, and 12, 1531. She left a miraculous Image of her appearance on his cactus fiber cloak, or tilma, which still exists today for all to see in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.
Our Lady came to offer faith, hope an consolation to the oppressed natives of Mexico and to reconcile then with their Spanish rulers. She put an end to the bloody human sacrifice of the Aztecs and converted ten million natives in the next 10 years!

Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us !
