Of Virgin Births - Armando García-Dávila.

Of Virgin Births								

Smile upon your child Mary, Jewish woman of Nazareth. You gave birth to Jesus, remained a 
virgin, and rose to be worshiped by his followers. Your son was born at the death of the year. His 
coming brought light to the world. 

Smile upon your child Coatlicue, earth mother of Mesoamerica, worshiped by the Aztecs. You
 gave birth to Huitzilopochtli god of the sun, who brought light to the world, and you remained a
 virgin.

Ride Balthasar, ride Melchior, and Gaspar. Follow the star to the manger baring your gifts for
 the god-child.

O priest of Huitzilopochtli raise your obsidian knife and bring it down onto the chest of the
 sacrificed. Extract his heart with swift skill, that this gift will please and continue to bring the
 sun.

And Jesus died a bloody and torturous death that his followers may know life.

Rise over the horizon Huitzilopochtli and bring sun that your followers may grow maize to
 sustain themselves. And rise Jesus, rise from the dead, and give of your body and blood that your
 followers may sustain themselves.
