Resumen
MAZZETTO, Elena. The Ayauhcalli in the cycle of the veintenas of the solar year: Functions and location of the Mist Houses and its relations with the liturgy of maize. Estud. cult. náhuatl [online]. 2014, vol.48, pp.135-175. ISSN 0071-1675.
This article focuses on the study of the sanctuaries Ayauhcalli (Mist Houses) in the liturgy of the solar year of the ancient Nahuas. It attempts to provide a comprehensive view of all data contained in the written and pictorial sources of the sixteenth century, as well as deciphering the liturgical role of these places of worship through a reconstruction of its spaces and functions. The second purpose of the paper suggests a comparison between the liturgy of the veintenas of Etzalcualiztli and Huey Tecuílhuitl, two festivals in which the Mist Houses played a significant role.
