Elements:
This ceremony, like the temazcal, is a ritual recorded in the Mendoza Codex, which means that it represented a ceremony with great importance and impact on the social and spiritual life of the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica.
Marriage is mentioned by various 16th-century chroniclers for its importance and repeated performance in various parts of Mesoamerica, primarily in the central highlands. Durango is the northern border of Mesoamerica, where the cultures of the central and highlands ascended to these territories to make their homes, where years later they also accompanied the conquistadors to populate these rich lands.
