En el signo que llamaban ce itzcuintli, decían que era el signo del fuego, hacían gran fiesta a la honra de Xiuhtecuhtli, dios del fuego. En ella le ofrecían mucho copal y muchas codornices. Componían su imagen con muchas maneras de papeles y con muchos ornamentos ricos. Entre las personas ricas y poderosas hacían gran fiesta a honra del fuego. En sus mismas casas hacían convites y banquetes a honra del fuego. En este mismo signo hacían la electión de los señores y cónsules, y en la cuarta casa deste signo hacían la solenidad de sus electiones con convites y areitos y dones. Después destas fiestas apregonaban luego la guerra contra sus enemigos.
\nEn el signo llamado ce atl, en la primera casa deste signo, hacían fiesta a la diosa del agua llamada Chalchiuhtliicue. Hacían la fiesta todos los que trataban en el agua, ansí vendiendo el agua como pescando, como haciendo otras grajerías que hay en el agua. Éstos componían su imagen y la ofrecían y reverenciaban en la casa llamada calpulli.
\nLos señores y principales, nobles y mercaderes ricos, cuando les nacía algún hijo o hija, tenían gran cuenta con el signo en que nacía, y el día y la hora en que nacía, y desto iban luego a informar a los astrólogos judiciarios, y a preguntar por la fortuna buena o mala de la criatura que nacía. Y si el signo en que nacía era próspero, luego le hacían baptizar, y si era adverso, buscaban la más próspera casa de aquel signo para le batizar.
\nCuando le batizaban convidaban a los parientes y amigos para que se hallasen presentes al batismo, y entonces daban comida y bebida a todos los presentes, y también a los niños de todo el barrio.
\nBaptizábanle a la salida del Sol en casa de su padre. Baptizábale la partera diciendo muchas oraciones y haciendo mucha cerimonia sobre la criatura. Esta fiesta también la usan agora en los baptismos de sus hijos, en cuanto al convidar y comer y beber.
