Art/Literary - Archaeology / Mexico | | Spanish term or phrase: advocación | Context: Mascarones de estuco modelado que representan dos aspectos o advocaciones de la deidad solar.
In that context, this is the def:
Denominación complementaria que se aplica al nombre de una persona divina o santa y que se refiere a determinado misterio, virtud o atributo suyos, a momentos especiales de su vida, a lugares vinculados a su presencia o al hallazgo de una imagen suya, etc. Cristo de la Agonía.
In this case, the Sun God is evoked as "Dawn" or "Dusk" -- two aspects of the transit across the sky.
I have no idea what this "nickname" is called in English. |
