Religiozita pravoslávnych veriacich v slovenskej spoločnosti
Religiosity of the Orthodox Faithful in the Slovak Society

Summary/Abstract: After the fall of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia in 1989, the Slovak historians became increasingly interested in Church history. The scholars of both academic and higher education institutions began to pay attention not only to the history of the Catholic Church – both Roman and Greek – but also to the history of the Orthodox Church. These were certainly interesting issues related to other aspects, such as the Greek Catholic Church, Ruthenian and Ukrainian questions etc. The objective of the paper is to analyze the history of the Orthodox Church and to assess the development of religiosity of the Orthodox faithful in the territory of Slovakia in the 20th century, with an emphasis on eastern and north-eastern Slovakia.
