Heaven & Hell in ecclesiastical Nahuatl literature

Piyali listeros!

Here's a question for those of you who have spent some time with
ecclesiastical texts (Nahuatl or otherwise):

I'm trying to track down descriptions of heaven and hell in the Nahuatl
ecclesiastical literature (*sermonarios*, especially).  My question is,
Were the subjects of heaven and hell traditionally associated with a
particular season in the Church's liturgical calendar?  For example, if one
is looking for sermons on the Second Coming the first week of Advent is a
good place to begin - just as descriptions of the Passion are (obviously)
to be found in Holy Week sermons.  Similarly, I am wondering whether
descriptions of heaven and hell have a specific location in *doctrinas* as
well.

thanks in advance!

Ben
