Mayan religion was characterized by the worship of nature gods (especially the gods of sun, rain and corn), a priestly class, the importance of astronomy and astrology, rituals of human sacrifice, and the building of elaborate pyramidical temples.
Eventually they turned to human sacrifice. The people chosen for sacrifice were mostly slaves, prisoners and orphans purchased for the sole purpose of sacrifice. The Mayans also inflicted pain upon themselves because they believed that the spilt blood of humans nourished the gods. The picture to the left is an ancient Mayan relief (flat carving) depicting a royal blood letting ceremony.
