Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the 21st century practices of religion of a traditionally religious community. The study was carried out in a small town in Székely Land, Miercurea Ciuc or Csíkszereda, where the social changes are rather slow compared to the centres, however the religious changes are marked by the territory’s homogenous and outstanding religious character. The study offers a brief theoretical review of the causes of the social changes in the religious practices, after that presents the town’s external-premodern and internal-modern religious practitioners. Ildikó Fejes is a sociologist and a religion teacher. She works at the Faculty of Technical and Social Sciences of Miercurea Ciuc, the Sapientia - Hungarian University of Transylvania, and she is doing her PhD studies at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University.
