	Religioscope > Archives > Romuva: le renouveau païen en Lituanie
		Le mouvement Romuva s'efforce depuis des années de ressusciter la religion païenne en Lituanie, en s'appuyant sur les sources folkloriques.
		Selon les partisans de Romuva, le changement affecta surtout les classes nobles, tandis que la population aurait continué de vénérer secrètement les vieux dieux durant des siècles.
		Romuva entretient des contacts avec d'autres groupes païens à travers le monde, et Jonas Trinkunas se trouvait d'ailleurs au mois de février en Inde pour y participer au World Council of Elders of Ancient Traditions and Cultures (WCEAT), organisé à l'initiative de milieux nationalistes hindous pour renforcer les liens entre religions indigènes et non missionnaires.

	Pagan Thought #2
		Lietuvos Romuva (Lithuanian Romuva - the modern inheritor of the traditions) is predominantly focused upon Nature worship, as evidenced by the hill-shrines and sacred trees.
		Unlike many Pagans whose revived religion resulted from the need to find their 'religious roots', the Romuviai know theirs and are more interested in the 'truth' of their knowledge and if what they practice is a true reflection of the divine.
		All religions are founded in the one truth, and as such the followers of another faith should be given the freedom to practice their beliefs.
