Can you give me an example of syncretism in christianity and hinduism?
There are many other similarities between Hinduism and Christianity, including the use of incense, sacred bread (prasadam), the different altars around churches (which recall the manifold deities in their niches inside Hindu temples), reciting prayers on the rosary (Vedic japamala), the Christian Trinity (the ancient Vedic trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva as the creator), Christian processions, and the use of the sign of the cross (anganyasa), and so many others.

About Christianity
Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. It began as a sect of Judaism in the middle of the first century, but split after suffering persecution from Jews and the Roman government. Christianity remained a persecuted religion until 313 AD, then became the official religion of the Roman Empire in 380 AD. Christianity spread in the coming centuries, and suffered two major schisms - once in 1054 AD between the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, and again in the 16th century during the Protestant Reformation. Worldwide, Christianity has over two billion adherants, is the largest religion in the world, and is the official religion of several countries.
