 The young man would spend his last week singing, feasting and dancing.During the feast where he was worshipped as the deity he personified, he climbed the stairs to the top of the temple on his own where the priests seized him, a time in which he proceeded to symbolically crush "one by one the clay flutes on which he had played in his brief moment of glory," and then was sacrificed, his body being eaten later.The young man would approach this sacrifice willingly, as being sacrificed in this manner was a great honor.
