It was often the case..Christian adoption of ancient places and practices. It may surprise some to learn just how much overlapping we’ve had. History is kept alive through such things.
Yes I love the overlapping and peculiar to Ireland, prayers and pagan customs. It is quite funny sometimes the way May Bealtaine etc is magical yet also the Month of Our Lady. Easter then most holy time of year but the pagan rituals are there.☘
@@user39h2j8il Well, it's a matter of opinion.. it's highly subjective and there is no right or wrong regardless of any of these "born again" fanatics will tell you. Catholicism is undoubtedly Christianity.. the only people who would say it isn't are some self righteous groups of fundamentalist Protestants who have hijacked the term "Christian" and somewhat ungodly think it only applies to themselves, much to other people's amusement. But on the contrary, Catholics believe those types are offending Christ by ignoring his Mother, and in turn, feel they will go to Hell for that.. so in a sense, Catholics don't see them as Christian either. Neither is correct.. and neither have the right to say what the other is.. they can, of course if they wish, but ultimately they're both wrong. Regardless whether they believe they are or not.. both are Christ following faiths.. and when you really get down to the finer points, there's not a huge deal of difference between them. Christianity has nothing to do with Paganism but I'm puzzled how anyone can say Christianity has not taken from Paganism.. the Christians have been appropriating the Native European pagan festivals, sites and traditions for centuries.. since Christianity's origins in Europe really.. pretty much all the Christian celebrations are stolen from Pagan precursors. It's very basic knowledge. When the Christians first came they burned down Pagan places of worship and erected their churches on sacred sites and burial grounds.. took the pre-established Pagan festivals, put a Christian spin on them, and converted the Pagans under threat of the sword. Few ideologies have resulted in more blood spilled than Christianity. I think many older people in Ireland believe that but Christianity in the form of Roman Catholicism and to a lesser extent Protestantism amongst the sons of the planters in the occupied North is their "native" traditional faith.. when in reality, others would say is more or less rebranded Judaism. Some native European Pagans would say Christianity is a foreign desert cult created by goat herders 2000 years ago and has no place in Europe.. and while there may be nicer ways to put it, can anyone really deny that? I personally feel people should be free to believe what they wish.. even if it is fairytales.. but what gets me, even today, after all this time, you get Christians who are still steeped in denial, delusion and insufferable arrogance. I've never met a serious Christian who I'd class as being a free thinking or having a high degree of intelligence. I don't mean that as an insult to them, just a mere observation. I think if many Christians actually studied the origins of their faith in depth, rather than blind faith in doctrine, they would have a hard time looking in the mirror without asking themselves "Am I a fool?"
And likewise in Mexico, Central and South America, the adaptation of and syncretism with indigenous practices and beliefs. Nice to see they were having a nice ceili!
Nice to see memories of tradition. Where is our traditions, culture heritage identity gone today? Ireland is almost no longer Irish.
I agree, it has lost a lot. Modern aspirations have undermined tradition and left it by the wayside.
Wonderful to see such tradition.

Catholic, not Christian.
Christianity has no link to pagan festivals, idolatry etc. That is all anti Christian.

Hi Mary Kate☘💚🧚♂️
Good stuff
This applies to us as well (Australia). I'm first generation with a lot of Irish blood 💚
The entirety of Catholicism is an adaptation of pre-Christian European and Levantine paganism. Saints, feast days, litanies, icons, etc etc.
And likewise in Mexico, Central and South America, the adaptation of and syncretism with indigenous practices and beliefs.
Nice to see they were having a nice ceili!
Does anyone know where this is and if the tradition is still continued
Pretty sure it's Kerry in the South
Even those old Pagan people were very holy people, they were had their belives
Cu Cailte!!
Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone, it’s with O ‘Leary in the grave…
