The Ancient Olympic game were held every four years; but were ended around the 4th century AD on the grounds that it involved pagan practices; inducing devotions to the Greek gods.
In the 19th century the Olympics were re-established as a cultural event with no religious context; the first of the modern games were in 1896.
