Coatlan del Rio in the State of Morelos, Mexico was part of the religious and

del Rio belonged to the domain of

while at the same time being tributary to the Aztecs.
In the sixteenth
century, its church was a fixed Vicar of Mazatepec and by the end of the
nineteenth century, it became a parish having San Gaspar, as its
patron saint;
Today, it continues to operate as a parish which is known as "Santos Reyes" or Holy Kings
