A religious practice or belief system that blends Christian and pagan elements together.
Compound of Christian + paganism, reflecting modern religious terminology. The word emerged in academic contexts to describe syncretic practices where pre-Christian and Christian beliefs coexist.
Christianopaganism isn't new—medieval European Christianity absorbed tons of pagan festivals and practices, which is why Christmas aligns with winter solstice celebrations and Easter with spring fertility rites.
