This season it was a special treat to celebrate the arrival of the jalapeño blossoms with a ceremony to honor Tlaloc, the ancient Aztec god of the rain, earthly fertility and water during the blood moon that occurred earlier last month. It was much simpler than the ritual for Tonacatecuhtli as no Vestal Virgins were required. And legend says that because of the lunar event, the peppers should be especially spicy.
