Abstracts

The article characterizes the place and significance of Slovak expatriate´s religious identity, membership in the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession and religious devotion in the context of the enclave formed by colonists who settled in the Danube-Pannonian lowland on the border of the contemporary Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Croatia. The author demonstrates that the Slovak colonist´s life was dominated by the Lutheran Church that strongly influenced their mentality, culture and identity as well as their communal life. Folk piety and Lutheran spirituality created an organic whole in the religious life of the Slovak colonists.
