Abstract
When New Spain was being Christianized, confrontation arose not only between different cultures and life conceptions, but also between two different ideas respecting deity. On one hand were the multiple Mesoamerican gods associated with corn and on the other, the Mediterranean God associated with wheat. Since they both are cereal grains of civilization, mothers of diverse cultures, the following questions arise: How does one join these two mentalities and effectively Christianize without eradicating corn? How did the missionaries practically achieve this endeavor? A lot of imagination must be put into this.
