Mexican Syncretism

In Pre- Columbian Mexico, there were tribes that made up what came to be known as the Aztecs and Mayans. Each tribe had certain traditions to venerate the God that was the patron of their town. With the arrival of the Spaniards, Christianity was brought. One of the popular ways to convert was to sync their culture, religion, and values with that of Spain's. After converting to Catholicism, their form of practicing it brought a unique way to do so. It would reach a global audience and to this day, there are modern ways of syncretism.
