Aztec god, Huitzilopochtli Coloring Pages

Welcome to our Huitzilopochtli coloring pages section.

Huitzilopochtli, one of the most important deities in Aztec mythology, is the god of the sun and war. He is often depicted as a fierce warrior adorned with vibrant feathers and armed with a serpentine weapon. As the patron god of Tenochtitlán, Huitzilopochtli played a central role in Aztec religion and daily life, symbolizing the relentless struggle between light and darkness. According to myth, he led the Mexica people to their homeland and commanded them to build their great city. His stories are filled with dramatic battles and heroic deeds, including his victory over his siblings, the stars, and the moon, securing his place in the pantheon.

About the Artist/Author:

Hello! I'm Leanne, the creative mind behind coloring.ws. I love nothing more than enjoying a warm cup of tea and a quiet day with a good friend. Here’s a bit more about me:

Things I Love:

Drawing: My happy place is with a pencil in hand, bringing ideas to life on paper.
Early Childhood Education: I absolutely adore those early, eager-to-learn years with kids. Their curiosity and enthusiasm are infectious!
Mythology: From Greek gods to Aztec legends, I’m fascinated by the stories that have shaped cultures.
History: Exploring the past helps me understand the present and dream about the future.

Things I Have a Love/Hate Relationship With:

Technology: I love how it connects us and makes things easier, but why does it have to change so quickly?
Trivia Nights: I'm your go-to person for fun facts, yet somehow, I always end up in second or third place. Frustrating!
Gardening: I like to think I have a green thumb, but it has a few brown speckles. My plants and I are working on it.
Animals: I adore my pets and they bring me so much joy, but oh, the chores! Why can’t they clean up after themselves?

I earned my degree back in the early '90s, and as a lifelong learner, I continue to delve into the things I love. This includes technology (though I struggle to keep up!), art, early childhood education, history, and mythology as it relates to sociology.

I know that while the coloring pages are largely for kids, many of you visiting the site are educators and caregivers. I’ve tried to share some interesting trivia tidbits and fun facts to make your visit enjoyable too. Happy coloring!
