With their sacrifice, life will be given back to them.The sacrifice usually happens monthly using their slaves or neighbouring and captured victims. During the sacrificial ritual,the victims were expected to bless the children, greet and cheer passers-by,hear people's petitions to the gods, visit people in their homes, led sacred songs,procession and dances. Before and during the killing, the traditional priest and audience gathers in the sacrificial destination, Pierce and bled themselves as auto sacrifice.
