Abstract. The article shows that since ancient times not only sacred images (images of deities, supernatural beings) have been preserved, but the very image of religion is transmitted, i.e. representation of worship, cults, rites, images of shamans and priests. This tradition goes back to the Middle Paleolithic and continues throughout the history of mankind, including the monuments of the Neolithic Age, the Iron Age, ancient civilizations (Sumer, Egypt). In the written sources of antiquity much attention is also paid to the narratives of rites and religious traditions of different peoples both in the literary and in the land-descriptive texts.
Key words and phrases: религия, образ, сакральный образ, культурная коммуникация, обряд, ритуал, religion, image, sacral image, cultural communication, rite, ritual
