Tonan Coatlaxopeuh: Our Mother Who Crushes The Serpent

Deep in the heart of ancient Mexico, the Mexica (Aztec) people forged a powerful empire that would dominate the Anahuac Valley for decades. Glorious, mighty, and breathtaking; the Aztec Empire would become a formidable kingdom that lorded over the surrounding tribes and subdued them without pity. Then suddenly in the spring of 1519, strange vessels appeared from the rising of the sun bringing strangers that would catapult the entire nation into one of the greatest adventures mankind has ever known. Caught in the confusion and drama of the ensuing conflict, an enigmatic emperor, a daring prince, a conniving captain, and a poor man of the fields would each have to decide who they really were and fight for their ideals. A stirring tale about tragedy, loss, violence, and hatred and the ultimate triumph of truth, honor, bravery, love, and faith, Tonan Coatlaxopeuh will take you through the daunting struggles of a people that culminated in the miraculous birth of a nation. Learn more about ancient heroes like Nezahualcóyotl and Cuauhtémoc. Discover who Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin really was. Surprise yourself with the origins of the Mexican nation and of devotion to the Virgin of Guadalupe. All this and much more including words and prayers in the Nahuatl (Aztec) language.
