Kiravia: Difference between revisions

Line 162:

Kiravia is a deeply religious nation. Notions of holiness and reverence are rooted deep in its cultural traditions, far beyond the depth of documentary history, and are of great importance in the lives of most Kiravians. A significant minority of Kiravians report participating in religious devotions other than personal prayer on a daily basis.

The majority of Kiravians are Christians, with a plurality adhering to the [[Catholic Church]] and mainly worshipping in its [[Coscivian Catholic Church|Coscivian Rite]], followed by the [[Coscivian Orthodox Church]] and [[Insular Apostolic Church]]. The Christianisation of Kiravia occurred in three waves, first in the [[South Kirav|South]] in the [CENTURY] AD, giving rise to the Coscivian particular church, and next in the Northeast and Kilikas Basin in the [6th century?] AD, giving rise to the Insular Apostolic Church. The West Coast was rapidly evangelised by the Catholic Church during the Xth century. In addition to the three major apostolic churches, a smaller but significant share of Kiravians belong to other Christian denominations, including Protestant ecclesial communities (mainly of Wesleyan and Lutheran persuasions), and a colourful collection of small native denominations referred to as [[Kiravian Sectarians]].

Rooted in the {{wp|apostolic tradition}}, adapted to and/or informed by the Coscivian {{wp|cosmovision}} and worldview, and expressed in a largely native ritual and iconographic vocabulary, Coscivian Christianity (especially in its Orthodox and Enochite forms) also preserves visible vestiges of {{wp|Mitzvot|Judaïc observance}}.

The two main religious minorities in Kiravia are followers of Coscivian-origin religions and Muslims. Surveys of religious identification tend to misrepresent the extent to which practice of Coscivian religions such as Iduanism, Sarostivism, and Ruricanism continues in modern Kiravia, as many Kiravian Christians and Muslims engage in substantial syncretism with these older traditions in their spirituality, or at least maintain some connexion to rituals from these religions as part of their cultural heritage and community life. Islam arrived in Kiravia during the Xth century AD, carried by seaborne trade with [[Audonia]], and spread mainly in the South. Kiravian Islam spans several different theological schools and social communities.

Common features of religious observance in Kiravia that cut broadly across different traditions and denominations include some form of prayer for the dead (likely absorbed from traditions of ancestor worship), association of {{wp|the Moon}} and lunar imagery with the sacred, and an important role for ascetic orders and monasticism.
