Religious Beliefs of Kryashen (Baptized-Christian) Tatars as a Different Dimension
of Turkish Culture. Turkish Community has chosen Islam as a religion in general and Turkish culture has been formed with Islam mostly. However, Christianity has found an opportunity to spread among Turkish groups due to various reasons throughout the history as well. Within this respect, Christian Turks (Gagauses, Chuvashes, Kryashens –Baptized-Christian Tatars) have made up a different dimension of Turkish culture. Kryashen Tatars who live in the Autonomy Republic of Tatarstan of Russian Federation today is of a great significance in terms of being one of the Turkish communities converted into Christianity from Islam and of Turkish religion history. Although Christians, they have some common traditional beliefs and applications at the territory of Islam and all Turkish communities in their faith. Having a unity of origin, language and history with Muslim Tatars, Kryashen Tatars are being considered and presented as a separate ethnic group by Russian researchers in particular at the historical process which starts with baptism and carry on up to now. Taking all these mentioned above into consideration, the place, religion, history and beliefs of Kryashen Tatars in Turkish religion history will be studied in the paper. |
