Based on extensive knowledge in the field of ethnography, theology, and history of religions, the author analyzes human behavior and feelings in a world filled with religious significance. Why do we feel awe when a new home is built; why every person has a place on earth where he constantly wants to return; why a child is immersed in water during baptism; why we look forward to the new year, pinning many hopes on it; what is real and imaginary reality, real and imaginary time for a believer; what some religious holidays mean and how they influence human consciousness and actions. These and many other questions are answered in this book. For a wide range of readers.
