Why was Christianity able to take over the Norse beliefs?
the Norse kings wanted better relations with the christian countries, and so attempted to make their people convert to ChristianityAnswer:The takeover may not have been all that complete or one directional. The Christians borrowed many of the Norse gods in the names of their days, the old groves and henges became the sites oof the new Chrsitian churches so the folks attending might well have continues their own worship in a newly named site, the dateo f Christmas and the celebration of Yule matches up with Christmas, Santa ns his raindeer seem a lot like Odin and his goats.
