Christianization
Christianization refers to the process of converting individuals or communities to the Christian faith. This often involved the spread of Christian teachings, practices, and values, typically through missionaries, education, and social services. The goal was to integrate Christianity into various cultures and societies, influencing their beliefs and traditions.
Throughout history, Christianization has occurred in many regions, including Europe, Africa, and the Americas. It often coincided with significant historical events, such as the fall of the Roman Empire or the Age of Exploration. The impact of Christianization can still be seen today in various cultural and religious practices around the world.
