If someone believes a particular date (Easter
and Christmas for example) has some mystical
power, it is the value that person has placed
on it. The same goes for the Bible, the cross,
and all the other items adopted by Christians
that have a Pagan origin.

Icon Worship
Since pre-Christian times we have wanted to
see our god. But we cannot physically see into
a different dimension, so we erect effigies of
what we think our god looks like. Often,
however, these items become idols in their
own right and people start to worship them.

CONCLUSION
Although Christianity and Paganism may be
similar it its rituals and beliefs they may not
serve the same significance. E.g. members
might consider their deity a saviour but not a
saviour from sin and damnation. Ritual baths
may not be the say as baptism. A communal
meal may not be the same as a ChristianEucharist. Afterlife may not be ofHeaven or
Hell.
