Cerca de los montes hay tres o cuatro lugares donde se solían hacer muy solemnes sacrificios, y que venían a ellos de muy lexas tierras. El uno déstos es que aquí en México, donde está un montecillo que se llama Tepeácac, y los españoles llámanle Tepeaquilla, y agora se llama Nuestra Señora de Guadalope. En este lugar tenían un templo dedicado a la madre de los dioses, que la llamaban Tonantzin, que quiere decir "nuestra madre". Allí hacían muchos sacrificios a honra desta diosa. Y venían a ellos de más de veinte leguas de todas estas comarcas de México, y traían muchas ofrendas. Venían hombres y mujeres y mozos y mozas a estas fiestas. Era grande concurso de gente en estos días, y todos decían: "Vamos a la fiesta de Tonantzin." Y agora que está allí edificada la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalope, tanbién la llaman Tonantzin, tomada ocasión de los predicadores que a nuestra señora la madre de Dios llaman Tonatzin. De dónde haya nacido esta fundación desta Tonantzin, no se sabe de cierto; pero esto sabemos cierto que el vocablo significa de su primera imposición a aquella Tonantzin antigua, y es cosa que se debría remediar, porque el proprio nombre de la madre de Dios, Sancta María, no es Tonantzin, sino Dios inantzin. Parece ésta invención satánica para paliar la idolatría de[baxo]

Spanish glosses in the Nahuatl column: tlachichiquilli: sharp-pointed mountain. tlatilli: another mountain or small hill. tlaxixipochtli: another mountain, a crag. tepeticpac: mountain summit. tlaelpan: mountain slope. tlatozcatl: narrow ravine between two mountains.↩
Near the mountains, there are three or four places where they were accustomed to perform very solemn sacrifices and they came to them from very distant lands. One of these is here in Mexico where there is a small mountain they call Tepeyacac. The Spaniards call it Tepeaquilla; now it is called Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe. At this place they had a temple dedicated to the mother of the gods whom they called Tonantzin, which means Our Mother. There they performed many sacrifices in honor of this goddess. And they came to them from more than twenty leagues away, from all the border regions of Mexico, and they brought many offerings. Men and women, youths and maidens came to these feasts. There was a great conflux of people on these days, and they all said: "We are going to the feast of Tonantzin." And now that a church of Our Lady of Guadalupe is built there, they also call her Tonantzin, being motivated by the preachers who called Our Lady, the Mother of God, Tonantzin. It is not known for certain where the beginning of this Tonantzin may have originated, but this we know for certain, that, from its first usage, the word means that ancient Tonantzin. And it is something that should be remedied, for the correct [native] name of the Mother of God, Holy Mary, is not Tonantzin but rather Dios inantzin. It appears to be a Satanic invention to cloak idolatry
