When King Ahuitzotl led a massive army on a campaign to the Gulf coast, Tenochtitlan was virtually depopulated of all but women. After the army's departure, everyone fasted for four days and throughout the campaign, and everyone made sacrifices to Huitzilopochtli by drawing blood from their own tongues, ears, arms, and legs. While the army was gone, the wives rose at midnight, started fires, and swept the streets. Afterward, they bathed, but not their faces or heads, and then prepared corn cakes to present to the gods. They entered the shrines to offer prayers and incense to the gods and then slept, but they arose before dawn to sweep the streets again, which was done also at noon and at sunset (Crónica mexicana 1975:53940 [chap. 75]; Durán 1967, 2:16465 [chap. 19], 2:359 [chap. 46]).
