Abstract:
This article contains information about the objects of Christian worship from the famous
Rekom sanctuary in the Tsei gorge of mountain Ossetia. In the messages of travelers and scientists,
other sources of the XIX – early XX centuries we find numerous references to this category of
things were kept in Rekom – the most revered Ossetian sanctuary. There are also Christian relics
from Rekom in the museums» collections. They testify to the veneration of the sanctuary by both
adherents of traditional beliefs and Ossetian Christians. The fact of the simultaneous presence
of traditional religious offerings and Christian objects in the Rekom speaks of the religious
tolerance of the Ossetians and the exclusive sacred significance of Rekom.
Keywords: Sanctuary Rekom, Ossetia, Christianity in Ossetia, religious views of Ossetians, Vladimir Tolstoy, Praskovya Uvarova, Vsevolod Miller, Evgeniya Pchelina
