How did the Christians adapt to pagan customs for Advent?
Christians adapted pagan customs during Advent by integrating local traditions and symbols into their religious practices. For instance, the use of evergreens, which were common in pagan winter solstice celebrations, was embraced as a symbol of eternal life and hope in Christianity. Additionally, the timing of Advent coincided with various winter festivals, allowing Christians to reframe these celebrations to focus on the anticipation of Christ’s birth. This blending helped facilitate the transition from paganism to Christianity by making the new faith more relatable to converts.

What does religious customs mean?
Religious customs are behaviours which are associated with the forms of worship practised in a particular religion, or which are commanded by the holy scriptures of the particular religion. Thus the practise of "crossing yourself", practised by Roman Catholics, is a part of their worship, and is a religious custom. Likewise, abstinence from pork is a behaviour required by the scriptures of both Muslims and Jews, and is thus a religious custom. Sometimes, however, people think that behaviours practised primarily by a particular religious group are religious customs when in fact they are just . . . customs. For example, the wearing of headscarves by Muslim women in contexts outside of worship is not actually mandated in scripture and is thus just a custom.
