Keynote Address: Russian Orthodox Sacred Objects in Central Asia: A Legacy of Imperialism?

Presenter: 
Daniel Scarborough
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Fri, 03/28/2025 - 14:45 to 16:00

Orthodox Christianity first came to Central Asia along with the Russian conquest in the 19th century. Along with Slavic settlers came Orthodox sacred objects, such as miraculous icons and the relics of saints. Churches, monasteries, and parish communities were build around these objects. During the colonisation process, control over Orthodox sacred objects was contested by the imperial regime, settler communities, and the native population.
