Summary/Abstract: The article presents the personal observations of the author on the sacral space of the village of Bozhenitsa, municipality of Botevgrad, that were made during the field ethnological researches of the Ongal Association in 2000-2001. The analysis reveals the local dimensions of two of the most important cultural processes within the Bulgarian society during the first half of the XX c.: 1) The religious orthodox revival; 2) The mythologization of the history and its application as a state-forming potential.
