According to ancient Aztec texts, on the fourth day after the baby is born, a ceremony is held before dawn, attended by the parents and kin of the infant. It involves the child’s exposure to water and sunlight, summoning the power of these elements to protect the child and shape their future. Once the ceremony is completed, the baby is assigned a name depending on the day and time of birth (1).
