The Maya painted certain individuals blue as part of their sacrificial rituals, which were believed to connect the physical world with the divine. The color blue, often associated with water and the sky, held significant spiritual meaning and was thought to invoke the favor of the gods. Sacrifices, including those of captured warriors or chosen individuals, were performed to ensure agricultural fertility, rain, and overall prosperity for their civilization. Thus, the blue paint symbolized both purification and a deeper spiritual connection during these rituals.
