The phenomenon of institutional religious resilience has a long history and defines the resilience and adaptation of religious communities and believers to various emergencies such as: persecutions, wars, totalitarian systems, etc. In such situations, there is a restriction of the freedom of religion and the individual and collective aspect of the expression of conscience and thought. The exception to such an understanding of religious resilience is a time of epidemics and pandemics, when religious communities limit themselves and seek new expressions of freedom of religion in situations where publicreligious practice is limited. In Slovenia, during the coronavirus epidemic (in 2020), religious communities limited themselves and ceased to operate in public, despite legislation that did not oblige them to do so.
