I think that any Venn diagram of what is pagan and what is christian would have a roughly 80% overlap.

I’ve always found these rituals kind of a mixed bag, since their roots and meanings shift depending on who’s using them. For me, incense works more as a mood thing than a supernatural tool, and holy water feels symbolic at best.
