Christianity in general adopted many pagan traditions but I’ve always felt the Catholic Church was one of the “worst offenders.” The way Catholics worship Mary is akin to goddess worship. You also have all the patron saints, which are eerily similar to all the other gods/goddess of pagan paths.
Christmas is a perfect example: decorating a tree, exchanging gifts, spending time with family - all parts of Yule. Not to mention the very real idea that Jesus wasn’t even born in December yet it’s celebrated so close to the winter solstice.
Easter and Ostara, Samhain and All Saint’s Day, Imbolc and Candlemas… all share very similar practices and timing. You can even add in Lammas and May Day (Lughnasadh and Beltane).
I have a weird obsession with learning where traditions come from so I have a whole dusty box in my head that not only covers religious aspects but other things (like going door to door for candy during Halloween is reminiscent of souling, where the poor would offer prayers in exchange for food or money; also thought to be connected to altar boys “collecting” prayers for All Saint’s Day and receiving a soul cake in exchange for them taking the residents prayers).

If you need any help with translations, I can try. 
I hope it was a mistake. Otherwise I’ll start getting flagged as off topic on every other post I make on this forum. 
I’m going burn some sage me and my son just got into an argument! He’s been on the game and I’m tired of being his friend. I’m his mom and he needs to respect me! Strong back take no shit. Do no harm! I yelled and I feel bad but I’m not perfect! So I need parenting techniques! Or I need to calm my anger and rage.
