Which Christian traditions are practiced in Latvia?

The majority of Latvians who identify with a religion adhere to Christianity, though it is important to note that Latvia has no official religion and approximately one-fourth of the population considers themselves nonreligious.12

The primary Christian traditions practiced in Latvia include:

• Lutheranism: This has been a prominent tradition in Latvia since the Reformation.32
• Roman Catholicism: A significant tradition practiced by a portion of the population.2
• Eastern Orthodoxy: This tradition is also represented among the Latvian population.2

Historically, the indigenous peoples of the region maintained pagan traditions until they were forcibly converted to Christianity by the Teutonic Order and the Order of the Brothers of the Sword during the 13th century.34
