Today in the Belarusian society, as in the past centuries, the main transfer of Christian traditions among the majority of the faithful population occurs during festive worship services in churches, as well as during the rituals that accompany the life of a believer, baptism, wedding and funeral. The work shows what unites all Christian denominations of our country - ceremonies, holidays and sacraments, which, differing in the canonical interpretation of each denomination, over a thousand-year period of existence on Belarusian land became part of its history and culture, acquired features associated with the Belarusian tradition .
