This section presents elements of pre-Hispanic religion and the process of evangelization through which the people of Tepoztlán adopted Christianity. Before the Spanish conquest, the Tepoztecos worshipped the god Ometochtli Tepuztécatl, deity of "pulque" and plant fertility, to whom they dedicated a temple atop the surrounding mountains. Later, Dominican friars oversaw the construction of the parish church and convent dedicated to the Virgin of the Nativity. The gallery highlights the syncretism present in the local population’s religious worldview.
