“Het geloof is niet aan mode onderhevig”

Veranderingen in Marokkaanse religieuze vieringen in Nederland

Samenvatting

Despite the dominant discourse of the Moroccan immigrant women in the Netherlands who were interviewed that religion “does not change” and that “Islam is not dependent on locality,” they mention substantial changes in religious celebrations. Whereas some of these changes are also discernable in Morocco, immigrant women tend to ascribe these transformations to their migration to the Netherlands. In this article, the religious year cycle and their major changes are described and analysed.
