AnswerAs Christianity spread, first around Europe, then around the world, it often adopted local gods as Christian saints. This was not so much out of respect for the gods, but to remove the attraction of pagansim. Instead of worshipping their old god, the people could venerate their new saint, as long as they accepted Christianity. With its spread, Christianity also adopted feast days to coincide with the sacred days of the old religions, to ensure that people performed Christian worship on those days, rather than pagan worship.
