Abstract

<jats:p>This article examines folk beliefs and conceptions concerning death and the afterlife, burial practices as represented in Armenian oral tradition, including their typology, ritual system, and related, in parallel with extensive ethnographic material. The aim and objective of this study is to identify and analyze the burial ritual system, the ritual environment, and the multilayered cultural structure of religious and mythological beliefs and perceptions associated with death. Although perceptions and beliefs undergo spatiotemporal transformations over time, conditioned by the development of human consciousness and scientific progress, they continue to persist as traditional cultural values, maintaining an inseparable link between the past and the present and thereby preserving the relevance of the topic.</jats:p>
