The Legal Essence of Religious Activity
Religious activity is the activity of a religious organisation registered in the established manner, whose purpose is the spreading of confession and faith. The law describes this activity through concrete forms: the organisation and conduct of religious rites, ceremonies, prayers and other cult acts; enabling believers to have and use houses of worship and ritual buildings for the satisfaction of religious needs both collectively and individually; the organisation of the reception and departure of religious delegations, pilgrims and representatives of various confessions, the holding of national and international religious conferences, assemblies and seminars with the provision of participants with accommodation, transport, food and cultural services; the maintenance of monasteries, monastic churches, theological educational institutions and charitable organisations, and the teaching and service activity connected with them.
