Abstract:
The basis of Kiev Christian theological method is Sophian tradition in European philosophical and religious art. Sophian tradition was elaborated in the pre-Christian period (Plato). It reflected in the works of prominent Christian theoreticians (Athanasius, Gregory of Nyssa, Macarius the Great, Gregory the Theologian) and Old Slavic (Cyril, Methodius) and ancient teachers of Christianity (Hilarion, Klim Smolyatich).

Abstract:
In Slavic folk culture, Christianity is a foreign, borrowed cultural model, while the oral tradition is native and familiar. The different areas of folk culture were influenced to varying degrees by the Christian tradition. The most dependent area of Slavic folk culture on Christianity was the calendar. In many cases, it only superficially accepted the Christian content of calendar elements and reinterpreted it in accordance with the traditional mythological notions. The same can be said about the folk cult of saints. The Christian saints replaced pagan gods and over time were included in the

The first include some key words identified according to the principle of “basic lexemes of a given language” by M.

The second should include the sacred plastic images of medieval Orthodoxy, largely inherited from the Old Russian pre-Christianity of the second half of the first millennium.</p>

The purpose of the article is to analyze medieval sources about the pre-Christian beliefs of the Slavs of the Bulgarian-Macedonian group. The author notes that the historical, cultural and religious context of the era should be clarified. The analysis helps to understand the political and sociocultural factors that influenced the formation of ideas about Slavic paganism. The methodology is based on several approaches.

The article is devoted to the study of the special connotations of the word "dog", which have been formed in the history of culture and are inextricably linked both with the Christian, biblical context and with the collective memory of pre-Christian folk traditions.

The ambiguous interpretation of biblical stories related to the dog is considered, giving rise to the inconsistency of its image in Christianity, which has deep roots, going back to pre-Christian beliefs, namely, Judaism and Slavi

Chodakowski’s work from 1818 about the Slavs before Christianity opened the Romantic period in Polish antiquarianism.

Yet, despite the undeniable strength of Byzantine cultural influence, neither aristocrats nor commoners in Bulgaria seem to have adopted Byzantine-type family names, nor, for that matter, making recourse to the use of patronymics as found among the Eastern and other Southern Slavs. Thus, for example, t

Whether or not elements in the medieval royal inauguration at Mora, south of presentday Uppsala (Sweden), are based on pre-Christian traditions is an old research problem.
