Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the morphosyntactic characteristics of Serbian phraseologisms of religious origin as well as the compatibility of their form, meaning and syntactic function when used in journalism. The corpus consists of approximately 50 phraseologisms of religious origin with different meanings. Phraseologisms are grouped according to structure, and it is concluded that nominal phrase is the dominating form, while most units are used in syntactic positions that correspond to their formal (and semantic) properties
