Christian cathedrals were built in places hallowed by millennia of pagan worship, feasts and holidays where altered by suffusing them with Christian content. This happened overall in Europe, the Baltic experience is unique in that the changes occurred later. Many centuries later. As a result, in Baltic cultures the evidence of the pagan foundation can be discerned more clearly.
This book presents a collection of articles, which outline the structure of the Baltic religious systems, and describes the holidays that grew out of it. In a final section it is shown that in the Baltic lands the ancient religions have not vanished entirely. They have reappeared in interesting forms and again assert their influence.
