holly elements

I should like to ask if nowadays in the christian folks in Europe are
some pagan sacral expresions which call with the title of "saint" or
holy elements as earth, stars, sun, sea, moon, water, fire.
Since the catholic church was more represive versus such pagan
expresions, I will expect to find something like this in the Ortodox
area of the christianity which was more liberal from this point of view.
If there are any folk which still kept such elements for holly or
saintly, then which of these elements ( earth, stars, sun, sea, moon,
water, fire ) are still considered in folk's mouth as "saint's" or
holly?
