Christianization

n. process of Christianizing, conversion of people to Christianity, making Christian, imbuing with Christian principles (also Christianisation)

The historical phenomenon of Christianization, the conversion of individuals to Christianity or the conversion of entire peoples at once, also includes the practice of converting pagan practices, pagan religious imagery, pagan sites and the pagan calendar to Christian uses. In Antiquity, Christianization was effected only partly through laws against sacrifice and sorcery and official conversions of temples to Christian churches. It was effected also by the degradation of pagan gods into demons and the Christianization of existing rites.
