Animal sacrifice played a significant role in the practice of Christianity in ancient times as a way to seek forgiveness for sins and to show devotion to God. It was believed that the sacrifice of animals symbolically represented the shedding of blood for the atonement of sins, following the example of the Old Testament practices. However, with the belief in Jesus Christ as the ultimate sacrifice for sins, the practice of animal sacrifice gradually diminished in Christianity.
