Now I am not an expert on the subject, but it is worth noting that the conversion of Celtic peoples to Christianity happened without the tremendous bloodshed that one would normally see through out history when a new religion is imposed on another people.
From what I understand, at the same time Christianity was coming to the Celtic lands, there were many diseases and plagues occurring, which may have made the conversion easier for people to accept....i.e....the Celtic Gods have abandond us, lets switch over to this new religion!
At the same time, it seems that they allowed Celtic and Christianity to inter-mingle because alot of the Catholic traditions seems to have roots in some of the Celtic Traditions.
Well, I look to Welsh Guy to shed his wealth of information on this topic!
