Introduction

Abstract

The articles of the volume discuss various issues: what is happening with the traditional, religious and secular landscape in the Balkan and Baltic countries, Europe, and the world? What are the new aspects of the development of modern spirituality? What happens to memory, historical interpretations, and visions of the future in modern contexts? Are traditional beliefs, folklore, and rituals still relevant in the modern world? How is cultural heritage being preserved during migration and in new surroundings?
