Christianity, like pretty much every religion, subsumed the existing religions that it replaced. In the process it absorbed the existing non-Christian beliefs and rituals and turned them into its own. There's lots of examples of pagan rites that became Christian...just as there are lots of Bon rites absorbed into Tibetan Buddhism. The celebrations on the winter solstice and spring equinox are the most obvious examples where Christmas and Easter replaced pagan celebrations that occurred in the same period.
It's the usual age distortion...when a 17 year old commits a felony they are an "adult" when they are a perceived victim they are a "child". Same 17 year old, different agenda on the part of the person applying the appellation.
