He was usually depicted with a red or yellow face and a censer on his head. His wife was Chalchiuhtlicue. According to Codex Fejérváry-Mayer, a prehispanic Mesoamerican manuscript, Xiuhtecuhtli was considered, "Mother and Father of the Gods, who dwells in the center of earth" At the end of the Aztec century (52 years), the gods were thought to be able to end their covenant with humanity. Feasts were held in honor of Xiuhtecuhtli to keep his favors, and human sacrifices were burned after removing their heart.
