An interdisciplinary collection of studies focused on cultural and religious processes in the example of two countries with a long-standing tradition of cultural research: Estonia and Bulgaria.

The articles focused on changes in the cultural processes of both post-socialist nation states, exploring problems that exist in modern society: minorities and small communities with their identity creation, and migration patterns; sacral places and religiousness; hobbies of contemporary city dwellers.

This collection of articles is the outcome of the bilateral project "Balkan and Baltic Holiness – Modern Religiosity and National Identity" (supported by both national academies of sciencies), research carried out by the Department of Balkan Ethnology, the Institute for Ethnology and Folklore Studies with the Ethnographic Museum, the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Department of Folkloristics at the Estonian Literary Museum.

Sator is an open access multilingual publication of the WG of Religious Studies of the Department of Folkloristics at the Estonian Literature Museum. The journal is published by the Estonian Literature Museum (ELM Scholarly Press.)
