Summary/Abstract: The article describes the territorial differentiation of selected parts of the Slovak dialectal lexicon semantically related to religion, church ceremonies and holidays. It is based on information obtained through nationwide questionnaire research, and on instances retrieved from the card index of the Dictionary of Slovak Dialects, from the written archive of coherent dialectal speeches (at the Ľ. Štúr Institute of Linguistics, Slovak Academy of Sciences), from scientific literature, as well as from local dialect dictionaries compiled by native speakers (non-linguists). Two language maps illustrate the text.
