Quote:Meh, they experienced a change when they subsumed the pagan easter traditions. Pick it up, dump it, it hardly seems noteworthy in the christian world-o-beliefs. Easter is about indigenous tradition, but also political expediency and the nature of top down religious conversion.
Spreading religion by the sword and forcing communities to merge compulsively does produce this effect. It makes sense; reaching a settlement with the natives about what should be practiced from the old days before the invasion, is just a doorway to creating new sects and change into something else.
