It's only but natural people will slowly adapt to the new religion as they embrace it. There will be hybridization, a mix of old and new. Instead of Diana/Ishtar/Inanna/Isis, they named their old goddess as Mary. Instead of Saturnus/Apollo/Baal, they named their old god as Christ. Even the Apostles were not spared and they called Barnabas as Zeus and Paul as Hermes and the crowd shouted with excitement, “The gods have come down to us in human form!” Lol!

It's not also surprising why the image of Christ does not even resemble a Jewish person.

But, let us not pass judgement, rather, let us grow in research work so we can understand even more why things are the way they are.
Well, the lord jesus is a semite, if we trace his lineage from abraham, his family came from UR in mesopotamia/iraq, he'll look like a modern day arab...the modern jews has no blood relation to the abraham of the bible, notice they look caucasian..
