Celebration Aztec New Year adheres to the Nahua nationality, to which the Aztecs (an ancient proto-American people) belonged and who live on the territory of Mexico.

The process of New Year’s meeting is as follows: fireworks must be set off, singing, playing the drum and lighting candles on a special tree.
