Marla Faith
Mari religion (), also called Mari paganism, is the ethnic religion of the Mari people, a Volga Finnic ethnic group based in the republic of Mari El, in Russia. The religion has undergone changes over time, particularly under the influence of neighbouring monotheisms. In the last few decades, while keeping its traditional features in the countryside, an organised neopagan revival has taken place. History Compared to neighbouring ethnic groups, Mari traditions are more archaic, albeit with influence from Islam in the Middle Ages and later Russian Orthodox Christianity in the early Modern period. In the 16th century, Mari territory functioned as a buffer between the Russian Empire and the Kazan Khanate before it came under Russian control during the Russo-Kazan Wars.
