Synopsis
Excerpt from The Year's Festivals
It is said that nothing is so difficult to control as popular customs which have refer ence to. The enjoyments of a people, for that portion of its nature which craves pleasure is bound to be satisfied upon every possible occasion, and with every plausible excuse. For many centuries the pagan games survived the gods in whose honor they were first instituted; and, more willing to surrender their worn-out religion than the amusements connected with it, Christianity could be made attractive to the ancient heathen only by allowing them to bring into their new faith many of their Old pagan amusements and pastimes.
