Peasants, Pilgrims, and Sacred Promises: Ritual and the Supernatural in Orthodox Karelian Folk Religion.	2021	6	.pdf	application/pdf	3065	116	43	Last but not least, the study of Orthodox Karelian folk religion can contribute a great deal to discussion about the scholarly notion of “folk” or “popular” religion as applied to daily practices of rural communities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. She lays special emphasis on the notion of a ‘promise’, or vow, which “formalizes” the “reciprocal relations between humans and sacred agents” in Orthodox Karelian folk religion, though in fact, it has to be remarked that this notion is common in the popular religion of most European agrarian societies, whether Orthodox or Catholic.	cache/folklorica-3753.pdf	txt/folklorica-3753.txt
