The Greeks believed that by sacrificing animals to their gods, they were appeasing the gods. This was also the belief of the Jews, who sacrificed animals in the Jerusalem Temple until its destruction in 70 CE. Since the early Christians also used the Jerusalem Temple, they would no doubt also have participated in these rites. Thus, it was an almost universal belief that sacrifices should be made to the gods.
