Many people will be surprised if they find out how many of the religious festivities we celebrate nowadays that go under the rubric of christianity are pagan festivals dressed up a bit in christian clothing.  Concerning older believes and heroic figures from the Nordic and Germanic mythologies; Even though I grew up as a Christian, being in part from Dutch and French origin, we were fortunate that all the old tales were still told and recast in our own language as well.  Character formation without guiding tried and tested myths raises half people who lack depth of understanding in the social surround.
