PER_BALT_PAGAN Baltic Baltic Pre-Christian Period -2000 1400 The pre-Christian religious tradition of the Baltic peoples (Lithuanians, Latvians, Old Prussians), from the Bronze Age through the late conversion period. Lithuania was the last European nation formally Christianised (1387 for the ruling class; folk paganism persisted through the 17th century). Deity names attested in chronicles from the 13th century onward; reconstructed earlier from comparative IE linguistics and folk song traditions. Gimbutas (1963) is the standard secondary source for this period.
