Owen & Puca/Pagan Religions, 28. Is Romuva an Official Religion in Lithuania?

Organisations can be recognised as an official religion in Lithuania in different ways. The first Romuva religious community was registered in 1992 and recognised as a non-traditional religion in 1995. Lithuania does not have a state religion, but the law lists three categories of religion – “traditional”, seen as historically present in Lithuania; “recognised”, which includes more recent Christian groups; and “other”, the largest group of religious communities.
