'''Xipe Totec''' was the Aztec god of spring, of new vegetation and sacrifice; also the patron god of goldsmiths. The statues of ''Xipe Totec'' show him wearing a freshly flayed skin; This god wares the skin of human victim as a symbol of the new vegetation. The name means literally "Our Lord who is Flayed".
