    The purpose of this present study is to investigate the material presence of three mesoamerican gods in the mexica´s human sacrifice rituals: Xiuhtecuhtli, Tezcatlipoca and Tláloc. For this analysis historical source statues, masks and vessels of the gods and the descriptions of the rituals made by fray Bernardino de Sahagún, in the 16th century were used. The objective is to understand the presence of the gods in these rituals. The human sacrifice rituals had a cosmogonic importance in these society, in the way that mexicas believed that it was necessary feed the gods with the blood of the sacrificed for the continuity of the Age, and a social importance in the way that there was some conditions necessary for the ritual. The presence of the gods in these rituals (in the form of statues or in another way) was something that configurated these practice, and differed from each other, depending of the god, the local and the ritual.
