Book Description:
|
The church knowingly incorporated pagan elements into the Christian faith to ease the transition to the new religion. Indeed, the identities of saints and pagan figures became so intermingled that some saints were transformed into pagan incarnations. Providing extensive documentation, this book shows which major days of the Christian calendar are founded on pagan traditions, including Easter and Christmas.
