Digital Dead Sea Scrolls Aztec Children The lives of Aztec children are fascinating in many respects. To understand how children fit into Aztec culture, and how they were honoured, we should go right back to the beginning... even before the children were born. Birth Since warfare was glorified by the Aztecs, it was even used to symbolize childbirth. The baby was a "captive" in the womb, struggling to enter the world. A hymn for a new child sung to the goddess of childbirth, found in the Codex Florentino, said: Down there, where Ayopechcatl lives, the jewel is born, a child has come into the world.It is down there, in her own place, that the children are born.Come, come here, new-born child, come here.Come, come here, jewel-child, come here. A soothsayer then came to the home of the newly born child to study the astrological significance of the child's birth, down to the exact day and minute of the child's entrance into the world. Aztec children and their Parents When older children were bad, they could have a painful punishment.
