The pagans were not about to give up their holidays. Most of the world incorporated all their heathen, savage and pagan holidays and festivals into the mix. The S. American Indian had been conditioned to accept Christianity from their Spanish task masters. It was the Spanish Catholic clerics who fought the civil authority to have the Indian accepted as human. And of course now the average Mexican is a mix of Spanish, Indio and Black. It was a different case for the N. American Indian where their whole identity including language, clothing and food was stolen by the church in cahoots with the state. In Mexico right now they don't just observe Easter day it is a full week of family and church celebrations and parades. Mexican Catholicism would not have prospered without Juan and the Virgin of Guadalupe. en.wikipedia.org In Talpa de Allende pilgrims are walking some on their knees to the church all the way from Guadalajara and over the hills and mountains from Puerto Vallarta through El Mosco, Zapotan, San Sebastian and Mascota - some walking ten days and some on crutches. This pilgrimage is an affirmation of family and faith and culture. en.wikipedia.org Catholicism is a Roman/Latin thing and it fits well with Italians and Spaniards but not too well with the Irish and as you see by all the Protestant splinter groups in Europe it was a bad mix.
