Absolutely. It’s like the Celtic cross or how Christians arranged for Christmas and Easter to coincide with pagan holidays like Saturnalia and Passover. It even goes back to the days of Ancient Rome, where the empire attempted to synchronize their beliefs with those of the people they meant to rule. Making religious elements coincide or adopting foreign elements into your religion makes it easier to convert people.
