Masks were part of their culture and was a part of their beliefs.
They were a part of their holidays. They were important to the
people of Mexico as well. They would often be animals and the
people added human features to the masks. Other masks depicted
full animals figures attached to the face. The mask represented
the ever-changing belief system unique to the people and the
geographical regions throughout time. Some masks symbolized
the belief that rain would come. In some dances, the Mexican
people wore tiger masks to link themselves to the god that they
worshipped. Certain masks were worn during dances for specific
gods. In some masks still today show the blending of the pre-
Hispanic and Christian relationship.
