GENERAL ASPECTS OF HEAVEN CITIZENSHIP IN HAGIOGRAPHY AND HYMNOGRAPHY

Abstract

Adopting the heaven citizenship is one of the main problems in religious literature. The religious essence of heaven and heaven citizenship represents the unity of two worlds, the earth and the heaven. Hagiography and hymnography reflect the icon of a spiritual resident of these two worlds, when the resident of the heaven is always in the heaven. Living on the earth is different. It is defined in accordance with his morals in the world. Is his soul full of sins or not, is he keen on earthy interests and passion. That‟s why the citizenship of a man is defined with his living habits, morals and behaviour. The result is the citizenship of the heaven. The heaven is internal and endless in space.
