Abstract
- This paper deals with the origins of the Christian terminology in the languages spoken in Old Livonia, i.e. Estonian, Livonian (both Finno-Ugric) and Latvian (Baltic, Indo-European). The older Christian layers of the Estonian, Livonian, and Latvian languages show that the first contacts with Christianity were with the Greek-Catholic Church through Russian and Byelorussian missionaries in 1000-1200. It is also argued that the mission was religious-cultural and peaceful. It was followed by the Roman-Catholic military (re-)christianisation in the form of a crusade with fire and sword.
