Syncretism is generally mixing of any two beliefs, particularly religious beliefs. A major push of syncretism between Paganism and Christianity was initiated by the Roman Emperor Constantine in the 320's AD when he incorporated elements of Paganism into the newly created state religion of Roman Christianity. Constantine, himself a sun worshiper, was the first to formally enforce the first day of the week, Sunday, as a mandatory rest day in order to make the Pagans feel more comfortable in the new state religion. This mixing resulted in a greater emphasis on ritual and chain-of-command imperatives.
