Description “Let the light of your faith illuminate the darkness of the path” “Deja que la luz de tu fe ilumine la oscuridad del camino” Whisper or call to the Virgin Mary for help, healing, or whatever else it is you desire help for. As Christianity swept into pagan lands, and it officially replaced the old religions, sometimes remnants of the old culture and religion remained, however, and rather than discarding the old gods entirely, some cultures re-branded the native gods as Christian saints. Jesus was nothing more than a copy of popular dying-and-rising fertility gods in various places—Tammuz in Mesopotamia, Adonis in Syria, Attis in Asia Minor, and Horus in Egypt. Of note is the fact that none of the stories and attributes of pagan deities became the stories and attributes of Saints, although this was done at a popular level more often than at an official level.
