Tlaloc was one of the oldest and most powerful nature deities that underlie the major Mesoamerican religions. The name comes from the Nahuatl word for 'earth', signalling the Rain God's role in making the crops grow. Seasonal festivals and sacrificial offerings were made to Tlaloc in Tenochtitlan, and at Mount Tlaloc to the east.
