If Byzantine Christians started a celebratory feast of in rememberance of saints that had died, before they contacted the Celts, how did that happen?

I know I can be wrong on this, I’m not a great historian with lots of detailed reference. I’m looking to learn.

The Romans had a lot of contact with the Celts long before the church got really rolling.

Did you know that London is actually Lugdunum and was a thriving place before the Romans popped in with their roads and plumbing?

The sacred stones, hot springs and groves were Celtic holy places before Romans even existed.

History gets rewritten...a lot.
