Considering two case studies, this article presents the functioning and attitude toward local religiosity in the context of migration. The first case study examines permanent internal migration of the Greek Catholics from the region of Žumberak in Croatia and the second one temporary labour migrants from ex-Yugoslavia, particularly from Eastern Serbia and Western Macedonia. Searching for answers to the questions of the migrants' attitudes toward local religiosity, its role in the construction of identity and the impact of migration on it, we cannot but consider the "laws" to which these processes submit in social life.
