Like I'm not sure it ever actually had one.
@civilwarbore it did, but not from an authoritative level...common ppl would pray to God and saints for good harvests and whatnot

@AdmiralHip right, but Christianity is rooted in a calendar that has fuck all to do with eg planting & harvesting. -
@civilwarbore yeah that is true. Any festivals or feast days that were superimposed on pagan festivals lost their agricultural significance

@AdmiralHip Though I suspect many saints were local gods subsumed into Christianity. -
@civilwarbore yep, lots of them. Many non-martyr early saints were v. similar to pagan gods. One that comes to mind is St Briget.
