The article analyses the etiological legends, narratives associated with the biblical plots, as well as other stories with Christian motifs, recorded during field researches in Eastern Slovakia in 2014 and 2018. All of them have axiological focus. They offer a national assessment of the world formation, current events and people’s behaviour. Narratives are included in the wider context of similar folklore facts of other Slavic traditions, which afford an opportunity to understand the specifics of local Ruthenian micro tradition in the aspect of axiological understanding of the world.
