Slavic folklore
(Redirected from Belarusian folklore)
Slavic folklore encompasses the folklore of the Slavic peoples from their earliest records until today. Folklorists have published a variety of works focused specifically on the topic over the years.[1][page needed]
There are few written records of pagan Slavic beliefs; research of the pre-Christian Slavic beliefs is challenging due to a stark class divide between nobility and peasantry who worshipped separate deities.[2] Many Christian beliefs were later integrated and synthesized into Slavic folklore.
