Romuva (religion)
Romuva is a contemporary continuation of the traditional ethnic religion of the Baltic peoples, reviving the ancient religious practices of the Lithuanians before their Christianization in 1387. Romuva claims to continue living Baltic pagan traditions which survived in folklore and customs.〔Dundzila (2007), pp. 279, 296-298.〕〔Dundzila and Strmiska (2005), p. 247.〕〔Ignatow (2007), p. 104.〕 Romuva is a polytheistic pagan faith which asserts the sanctity of nature and has elements of ancestor worship. Practising the Romuva faith is seen by many adherents as a form of cultural pride, along with celebrating traditional forms of art, retelling Baltic folklore, practising traditional holidays, playing traditional Baltic music, singing traditional ''dainas'' or hymns and songs as well as ecological activism and stewarding sacred places.〔Dundzila and Strmiska (2005), p. 244.〕 The community was organized and led by krivių krivaitis (high priest) Jonas Trinkūnas until his death in 2014.
Romuva primarily exists in Lithuania but there are also congregations of adherents in Australia, Canada, the United States,〔Dundzila and Strmiska (2005), p. 278.〕 and England.〔(Saulėgrįža Londono Romuvoje )〕〔(Londono Romuva kviečia )〕〔(Rasos šventė Londone )〕 There are also Romuvans in Norway, for whom a formal congregation is being organized.〔(Baltų Krivule Kurtuvėnuose 2011.06. 5. )〕 There are believers of Baltic pagan faiths in other nations, including Dievturība in Latvia.〔Dundzila (2007), p. 294.〕 According to the 2001 census, there were 1,270 people of Baltic faith in Lithuania.〔(Lietuvos gyventojai pagal tikybą 2001 m. )〕 That number jumped to 5,118 in the 2011 census.〔(Gyventojai pagal tautybę, gimtąją kalbą ir tikybą ), p. 13〕
==Etymology==
The terms ''Romuva'', ''Romovė'' and ''Ruomuva'' came from medieval written sources in East Prussia mentioning the pagan Baltic temple Romowe.〔Dundzila & Strmiska (2005), p. 246.〕 The word has meanings of "temple" and "sanctuary", but, further, also "abode of inner peace".〔Ignatow (2007), p. 102.〕 The Baltic root ''ram-/rām-'', has the meaning of 'calm, serene, quiet', stemming from the Proto-Indo-European ''
*(e)remǝ-''.〔(Indo-European roots )〕
