THE TOWN

They talk the elderly, who long ago came to these lands herders of goats and sheep, which apparently came from far away (From Cichiltepec). They would like a hill known as Coapa, but there was not enough water, just enough to graze; then rose more and found another hill (where it is now the community of "San Bernardino") and camped there. But at the foot of the hills, they found a spring of water, but had grass around, like the hair of corn, known as Mazote, and put like the hill "Amozotl" or "Amozoc" as we now know. Our grandparents talked us that our blood, our roots and our navel this buried in Tenochtitlan or Mexico. "Mexico means the navel of the moon" our brothers headed to Mexica and Aztec warriors was advanced, but here they found the Mazatec. So called Mazatec, because wars were traveling with deer. (Mazatecos means "People Deer"). When the community grew, they became more houses, and became a town, which was named "Amozoc". At this time, there was a chief or leader of opinion, a venerable person named "Bernardino". And after consensus decided to call the "San Bernardino" community and as the town is called Teotitlan, then the town is called San Bernardino Teotitlan. The saint was designed with the features of the face of this head and have since revered. And the party is on 20 May each year.
