Quetzalcoatl On Dia de los Muertos
Two young Mormon missionaries were in Mexico City on this particular Sunday November 2nd- All Souls Day on the Roman Catholic Church calendar- or as they called this festival in Mexico- Dia de los Muertos- Day of the Dead.
Both young men happened to be from Salt Lake City- the home of the global headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Mexico City was their assigned missionary outreach.
They were encouraged to take in the cultural festivities of the people they were evangelizing.
So here they were on the evening of Dia de los Muertos taking in a colourful and festive parade.
Leading the parade seemed to be a beautiful young dancing girl who happened to look a lot like actress Salma Hayek.
The young woman was not Salma Hayek.
In fact, she was a lot older than she looked.
She was the some 600-years-old Aztec vampire princess Qonzilqointec.
She was wearing a white blouse and long flowing red skirt.
Suddenly a strange looking creature flew down from the sky and stood in front of the parade.
It was a huge giant serpent with feathers and wings.
Terror seized the crowd (as it did the two young Mormon missionaries).
But the dancing girl cried out, "Be not afraid. It's our father and our king and our emperor Quetzalcoatl finally returned from a far planet."
The crowd cheered.
The giant feathered serpent started leading the dance in colourful fashion- like some colourful dancing giant hybrid cross between a gargantuan Goliath of Gath sized peacock and a radioactive fire-breathing Godzilla.
One of the Mormon missionaries started filming the parade and its leader on his smart phone.
He immediately sent the images to his Mormon bishop back home in Salt Lake City.
The Aztec vampire princess Qonzilqointec happened to notice the young missionary who was filming Quetzalcoatl and the parade.
She smiled and went over to him and his fellow missionary and put her arms around both boys.
"Do come back to my apartment," her voice was as soft as the whispering wind rustling through the trees at the dawn of a glorious new morn, "and tell me all about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints."
A Catholic priest on the other side of the crowd happened to notice Qonzilqointec's sharp vampiric fangs protruding as she smiled.
The priest immediately crossed himself.
