Summary/Abstract: In the work, the question of time in the context of religion has been raised. Article discusses two main theses: religion is the primary form of structuring the time in religion; religion is primary form of traversing the time. The theses were broadened by statements: structuring the time is done by liturgical calendar, reading the sense of history, individual projecting time of own existence. Traversing time is done by myth and rituals, mystique and prophecy, celebration of holy days.
