Summary/Abstract: The religious substratum plays a primary role in Victor Papilian's work. Present from the beginning and up to the end in his writings, the religious of mystical-Christian origin has multiple valences, being each and every time renewed and endowed with unusual means of approach: from the archaic miraculous, specific to local traditions, to the appeal to numerous biblical sources and Christian practices. All around the religious sphere is usually a mysterious, symbolic cover, which implies the gradually revelation through the (re)discovery of an ancient substratum, rooted in Romanian folk tradition and practice.
