The Christian Church appropriated ,any pagan thing and rituals such as the Winter Solstice (Christmas), the Spring Equinox (Easter), and the sites of henges and sacred groves to build their churches. Many of raw principle figures and legends (Jesus and his miracles) were reworking of older (Egyptian and Babylonian) stories.
