Survival of Sun Worship 

It can be seen that sun worship did not disappear with the spread of Christianity

From  the 'Confessions' of St. Patrick ( 5th Century) "That sun which we see, rises for us daily at God's command, but never will it reign nor will it's splendour endure, but all who adore it will meet with the unhappy punishment of the wicked.'

 In the 7th Cent. 'St.Eligius' -in a condemnation of pagan usages wrote;-'Let no one call the sun or the moon lords, or swear by them, for they are but the creatures of God.'

As late as the 11th cent. in Britain, King Canute issued a prohibition of barbaric worship including;- 'Sun, Moon, fire, running water, springs, stones, trees of any kind, or blocks of wood.'
