Extravagant Superstition?
"It is their habit, on a fixed day, to assemble before daylight and to recite by turns a form of words to Christ as God. The contagion of this perverse and extravagant superstition has penetrated not the cities only, but the villages and the country. Yet it seems possible to stop it and set it right. "

One thing to always remember, is that the Civilized Roman Empire, considered Christians as atheists or supersititious types. We were totally not part of the whole religious mindset in those days.
