I loved this Diego Rivera Mural at the presidential palace. It shows Mexico's legendary and precolonial past. Jesus Christ or Quetazlocotal is represented in the center as the god of the Toltecs, Mayans, and Aztecs. He wears a headdress of quetzal feathers and a conch on his chest, a symbol of the wind god; he carries a curved baton, the scepter of the seven stars or constellations. Behind him are the pyramids of the Sun and Moon in the city of Teotihuacan, the great political and religious center of pre-Hispanic Mexico. But the upside down sun indicates the decline of these pre-Hispanic cultures. He is fair skinned has blond hair and has a beard. Oh I wish the people of Mexico could really understand who Jesus Christ is and that his church is on the earth today.
