Digital Art Giclee print on canvas. Scene of the Aztec myth telling when the Sun and War God Huitzilopochtli was born. According to legend, Coatlicue-Tonantzin, the Mother Earth Goddess, was swiping with her broom on the top of a sacred mountain when a falling feather got her pregnant. Her daughters found her unmarried pregnancy as a disgrace, so led by their elder sister Coyolxauhqui, the Moon Goddess, the 400 Star-Goddesses decided to kill their mother. But before Coyolxauhqui could hurt Tonanzin, Huitzilopochtli was born fully grown and already dressed as a warrior, and in a second he dismembered Coyolxauhqui, throwing her head to the sky, where it stands shining in the night sky until this day.
This Myth symbolizes the triumph of the Sun over darkness on the winter solstice.
