Note: Nahua priests. Literally, "one who guards the deities" in Nahuatl. Part of a complex group of ministers of worship, each of whom engaged in very specific tasks such as rites of incense, or sacrifice as well as activities related to the maintenance and offering of fire. All generally wore long hair, anointed their bodies with black charcoal pigment, and performed frequent penances such as fasting and self-sacrifice. Each type of priest had a specific name, while in the colonial period, missionaries used the term teopixqui to designate the office of a Christian priest.

| Spanish ..... Un sacerdote nahua. Literalmente, "el que guarda las deidades". Parte de un complejo grupo de ministros de culto, cada uno de los cuales se dedicaba a tareas muy específicas como ritos de incienso o sacrificio, así como actividades relacionadas con el mantenimiento y la ofrenda del fuego. Todos llevaban generalmente el pelo largo, ungían sus cuerpos con pigmento de carbón negro y hacían frecuentes penitencias como el ayuno y el auto-sacrificio. Cada tipo de sacerdote tenía un nombre específico, mientras que en la época colonial, los misioneros usaron el término teopixqui para designar el oficio de un sacerdote cristiano. |
