Summary/Abstract: It has become apparent that there’s a need to conduct a study on religious education. I’ve conducted just such a study of the historical aspects of religious education of the Western region of Ukraine. As a result I’ve done an analysis of the spatial distribution of religious educational institutions in the western Ukrainian borderland. I’ve investigated the locations of higher religious educational institutions and various denominations and movements in the region. After much considerations, facts were made available regarding the distribution of religious schools in the Western region, in terms of denominations within their areas.
