The article presents some examples concerning anthropological and historical dimension of religious identity on the territory of Pinsk and Brest counties of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Within the framework of historical dimension of religious identity the author pays attention to how this type of identity was formed and realized in the 15th–17th centuries in Pinsk and Brest counties of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and shows how the Orthodoxy developed from the simple to the complex, taking into account both internal mechanisms of culture and law and complex perception of transcendency. Within the framework of anthropological dimension of religious identity the author considers cultural and historical tradition as a component of religious identity always causing certain interest in the scientific community. Specific examples show that all spiritual and mostly material life of the residents of the counties has been regulated by religious standards of behavior and norms of the organization of everyday life. Certain attention is paid to the fact that the development and study of the values of cultural and historical tradition in the past, the evaluation of social and anthropological importance of cultural tradition will allow us to get to know better the peculiarities of the people’s spirituality and expand theoretical perspectives for self-identification. The article contains the facts of what contributed to the formation of the religious identity of the indigenous population of the above-mentioned counties.
