Centeotl was considered one of the most important deities of the Aztec era. There are many common features that are shown in depictions of Centeotl. For example, there often seems to be maize in his headdress. Another striking trait is the black line passing down his eyebrow, through his cheek and finishing at the bottom of his jaw line.

In Aztec mythology, maize (which was called Cintli in Nahuatl, the Aztec spoken language) was brought to this world by <a href="/wiki/Quetzalcoatl" class="mw-redirect" title="Quetzalcoatl">Quetzalcoatl</a> and it is associated with the group of stars known commonly today as the <a href="/wiki/Pleiades" title="Pleiades">Pleiades</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Centeotl2_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Centeotl2-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At the beginning of the year (most likely around February), Aztec workers would plant the young maize. These young maize plants potentially were used as symbolism for a pretty goddess, most likely <i>Chicomecōātl</i>, Princess of the Unripe Maize. <i>Chicomecōātl</i> is usually depicted carrying fresh maize in her hands, bare-breasted, and sitting down in a modest manner. An interesting conflict exists in that some historians believe <i>Chicomecōātl</i>, otherwise known as 'the hairy one' and Centeotl are the same deity. When the seeds were planted, a ritual dance occurred in order to thank Mother Earth and more specifically Centeotl. These dances became increasingly more prominent as the warmth of the sun brought about great prosperity for the Aztecs in the form of sprouting maize canes. This festival has been compared to the more Western maypole festival due to the similarity of their celebrations (dancing for spring, feasting, etc.). These festivals were probably very pleasant for the Aztecs, judged by similar festivals in other civilizations. A major custom in Mexico during this festival period was for female Aztecs, regardless of marital status to loosen their ponchos and let down their hair. They would proceed to dance bare-breasted in the maize fields in order to thank Centeotl for his work. Then each female would pick five ears of corn from the field and bring it back in a grand procession while singing and dancing. Women in these processions were the promises of food and life in the Aztec world. Traditionally, massive fights would break out as people tried to soak one another in flower pollen or scented maize flour. Also, flower petals were thrown in ceremonial fashion over people who were carrying the ears of corn.<sup id="cite_ref-Burland_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Burland-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Corn was rather essential to Aztec life and thus the importance of Centeotl cannot be overlooked. It can be seen from countless historical sources that a lot of the maize that was cultivated by the Aztecs was used in sacrifices to gods. Usually, at least five newly ripened maize cobs were picked by the older Aztec women. These were then carried on the female's backs after being carefully wrapped up, somewhat like a mother would wrap up a newborn child. Once the cobs reached their destination, usually outside a house, they were placed in a special corn basket and would stay there until the following year. This was meant to represent the resting of the maize spirits until the next harvesting period came around.<sup id="cite_ref-Burland_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Burland-13"><span
