| Summary: | This article examines the influence of different calendar systems on the coexistence of the Christian and Jewish population in the city of Slutsk in the early modern period. Various religious groups lived in Slutsk in present-day Belarus since the early 17th century. As a result, three different calendar systems determined the everyday life in the city: while the Gregorian calendar regulated the administration. The church year of the Orthodox majority was based on the Julian and the holidays of the Jewish residents on the Hebrew calendar. The inhabitants knew about the religious festivals of the other group, not at least because they affected the economic life of the whole city. Mutual consideration and a pragmatic approach to the various holidays enabled a largely conflict-free coexistence in everyday life. Occasional disputes are documented, when the common urban space is used for religious celebrations. |
