Reveals how Christian mythology has more to do with
long-standing pagan traditions than the Bible
• Explains how the church fathers knowingly incorporated pagan
elements into the Christian faith to ease the transition to the
new religion
• Identifies pagan deities that were incorporated into each of
the saints
• Shows how all the major holidays in the Christian calendar
are modeled on pagan rituals and myths, including Easter and
Christmas
In this extensive study of the Christian mythology that
animated Europe in the Middle Ages, author Philippe Walter
reveals how these stories and the holiday traditions connected
with them are based on long-standing pagan rituals and myths
and have very little connection to the Bible. The author
explains how the church fathers knowingly incorporated pagan
elements into the Christian faith to ease the transition to the
new religion. Rather than tear down the pagan temples in
Britain, Pope Gregory the Great advised Saint Augustine of
Canterbury to add the pagan rituals into the mix of Christian
practices and transform the pagan temples into churches.
Instead of religious conversion, it was simply a matter of
convincing the populace to include Jesus in their current
religious practices.
Providing extensive documentation, Walter shows which major
calendar days of the Christian year are founded on pagan
rituals and myths, including the high holidays of Easter and
Christmas. Examining hagiographic accounts of the saints, he
reveals the origin of these symbolic figures in the deities
worshipped in pagan Europe for centuries. He also explores how
the identities of saints and pagan figures became so
intermingled that some saints were transformed into pagan
incarnations, such as Mary Magdalene’s conversion into one of
the Celtic Ladies of the Lake.
In revealing the pagan roots of many Christian figures,
stories, and rituals, Walter provides a new understanding of
the evolution of religious belief. Reviews “Walter writes in a
distinguished academic tradition that goes back to Jesse L.
Weston and Sir James Frazier. He describes a rich complex of
pagan, European traditions that inform Christian ritual. In
doing so, he illuminates beliefs that underlie some of our most
cherished stories and practices. I will recommend this book to
my students.” (Steve Harris, associate professor of English,
University of Massachusetts) “It is generally understood that
Christianity strengthened its position early on in the popular
mind by usurping and bending pagan rituals and sacred locales.
In this ambitious scholarly treatise, professor of medieval
French literature Walter marries the pagan and Christian
calendars in great detail by examining ancient myths, saints,
and celebrations. He visits All Saints Day, the Twelve Days of
Christmas, Candlemas, Easter, Ascension, St. John’s Day of
Summer, St. Peter’s Chains Day, and St. Michael’s Day to find
that these yearly rounds, roughly 40 days apart, share a
mythical realm with the dates of Carnival, best understood as
‘a religion--it was even the religion preceding Christianity.’
Walter’s sources include acts of councils, confessors’ manuals,
literary texts such as Arthurian romances, hagiographic works,
and medieval iconography. While he doesn’t attack Christianity
on its spiritual merits, he concludes boldly that ‘Christianity
would have had no chance of imposing itself in the West if, on
certain points of dogma and rites, it had not responded to the
religious needs of the converted pagans.’ . . . This volume
makes a strong scholarly contribution to understanding the
evolution of belief, where ‘it is important to understand that
nothing has been lost or created.’” (Publishers Weekly) About
the Author Philippe Walter is a professor of medieval French
literature at the Université Stendhal in Grenoble. He has
published numerous books about the Middle Ages and has overseen

prestigious Bibliotheque de la Pléiade. He lives in France. See
all Editorial Reviews Christian Mythology - The Revelations of
Pagan Origins By Philippe Walter. Painstakingly researched,
Walter starts at the beginning of the year, explains the Pagan
origins of every holiday or feast day and how the church tried
to cover them up, Christianize them or destroy them. He
explains how many Pagan Gods and Goddesses and other deities
were converted to Christian “saints” in an attempt to lure the
Pagans into Christianity. Very interesting book and a must-read
for anyone that has ever questioned the credibility of the
Christian religion or for Pagans interested in learning about
the roots of Pagan beliefs and practices. I read it right after
I finished Pagan & Christian Creeds, Their Meaning & Origin by
Edward Carpenter which was also a very good book on the topic
of Pagan beliefs and their origins. I loved this book and give
it 5 stars. -------- Thoroughly researched and dense with
information, this book sheds light on the origins of Christian
holidays, saints, and even the life of Jesus. There has been
much discussion in recent decades about what is fact (and what
is poetic license) in the familiar stories about early
Christianity. Professor Walter takes it all a step further as
he documents the evidence supporting the theory that much of
Christianity was merged into existing pagan ritual and
symbolism. He explains how the need to bring pagan worshippers
into the new religion superceded the need to accurately record
historical events. Some readers might be distressed by these
revelations, but I think most of you will be intrigued to
unravel the mysterious roots of one of the world’s major
spiritual traditions. For many New Consciousness readers it
will be a relief to find out that the religion in which they
were raised is actually tied to natural cycles and common
transcendent experiences after all. I highly recommend this
book for its insight and attention to detail. It certainly
gives readers much to think about. Comment 7 people found this

book on history of religion. Yes, Christianity DID incorporate
elements of earlier religions. Religion is an element of
culture and civilization which evolves as do others.
