Explains a lot, Pagan Festivals are the base of many Christian Rituals ,ie Yew Groves were sacred to Pagans and is the reason a lot of Churchyards contain Yew Trees, whatever floats the boat I suppose.lol
The Cathedral at Aachen is now shaded by another building, but paleoastronomers recently realized that at the summer solstice, the rising sun shone in a window directly onto Charlamagne’s throne: combining Christianity with an earlier pagan sun cult.
