Russia is traditionally considered to be an Eastern Orthodox country. While, historically, this is true, today Russia is a melting pot of many different creeds and religions. Tolerance, acceptance, peace, and love are the main pillars of every religion that is thriving in Russia right now...
Religious Nesting Dolls
By population, Christianity is still the most popular religion in Russia, but this is a mix of modern American Christianity and eastern orthodox practices. Over 100 million Russian citizens consider themselves to be Russian Orthodox Christian. There are also anywhere from 7-20 million people living in Russia who practice Islam, and there are approximately 3-5 million Muslims living in Russia. Buddhism and Judaism are the other two major religions that fill Russia. Here at The Russian Store we realize the importance of religion in life, and we have compiled a fine collection of religious nesting dolls to allow our customers to show their faith with unique style.Most of our religious nesting dolls are Christian themed. We have many babushka dolls that depict the birth of Jesus Christ. We also have many nesting dolls that show baby Jesus being held by his mother Mary. Some of our dolls are in the traditional Russian icon theme, and this may be more acceptable to an Orthodox Christian. If you have ever been inside of an orthodox home you would notice that there is at least one icon of Jesus hanging somewhere on the wall. Religious art is a big part of Russian life and culture, and it has been this way for thousands of years. No matter what religion you are, there is no denying the power that certain works of art have. Celebrate the life, teaching, and sacrafise of Jesus with one of our beautiful nesting dolls. These matryoshka dolls make the perfect gift for Christmas, Easter, a baptismal, wedding, or other religious event. Mark each milestone with something that will be cherished for years to come. Religion never goes out of style.
We also have several very unique Jewish nesting dolls. These dolls are made especially for our customers here at The Russian Store, and they depict a traditional Russian Jewish family throughout. In addition, we carry a selection of general angel nesting dolls that adhere to no one particular religion. Unfortunately we do not carry any specifically Islamic or Muslim themed nesting dolls at this time. If you have an idea of a doll that you would like to see here, please do not hesitate to contact us and tell us all about it. We would love to hear from you.
