Book Description

This important book explores the enduring role of rituals and religion in the lives of older people in the UK, Bulgaria, and Romania. The 12 chapters organized into five sections based on oral history interviews present comparative analyses of how ritual links to major events in the life of the individual, family, and community; the emergence of religiosity and nonreligiosity; personal explanations for engagement in ritual practice; and how religious identity is embedded in national identity.
