[QUOTE="HTacianas, post: 75468432, member: 411268"] For the first several hundred years of Christianity the Church kept its faith secret. To openly confess the Christian faith often led to death. That was the time of "the Church of the catacombs" when the faithful gathered in secret. Churches often had people stationed at the doors to keep non-believers out so that the members were hidden from view. It led to all sorts of wild speculations about the practices of the early Church among non-believers. One of the rumors about the early Christians centered on the Eucharist and the adoption of the mother-child motif in art. People heard that the Christians ate the body and drank the blood of their god and their god was portrayed as a child. The rumor became rampant that Christians sacrificed a child during their services and consumed its flesh. It wasn't until Constantine legalized Christianity that the Church was allowed to publicly profess its faith. [/QUOTE]
