*Ø* Blogmanac September 20 | Birthday of the Sun, Peru (Inca)
All fires, including the sacred fire of the Temple of the Sun, were extinguished for three days. A priest, using sunlight through a glass and sanctified cotton, rekindled the temple flame, from which all fires in the empire were relit. Animal sacrifices were made, followed by eight days of feasting.
