Church of Jarillo

Native to the areas of Varangia, Karanya, and Cilitza, this sect connected the traditions of Yeshuanism to cultural belief in Jarilo, his sister Morana, their dad Svarog (sometimes connected to Dajbog), and the cycle of the seasons. Initially, the sect focused more on Svarog/Dajbog, for their might as a sky and mountain deity and because the people of this area were nomadic, land based, and not very much involved with sea voyages. After many wars and plagues as well as the expansion of these areas, these regions became more isolated politically, and while trying to improve themselves internally, they turned to the gentler spring god Jarillo and his twin sister, Morana, who represented winter but mostly because she was a twin, not because of a separate origin story. Ignoring the story from antiquity - where Jarilo and Morana accidentally fall in love before finding out they are siblings and separating to their own seasonal realms in sorrow forever more - they thought of the twins more as two natures of the same person. Having a powerful parent - Svarog/Dajbog himself - and a feminine, motherly aspect in Morana that mostly played a supportive role to Jarillo, they adapted the practices of Yeshuanism, decided which saints would be important to them, and carried on.
