Results from the 2008 wave of the European Values Study in Cyprus

According to the results of the 2008 wave of the European Values Study, the overwhelming majority of people consider the religious rituals for baptism, marriage and death to be quite important. These religious rituals are routinely conducted for the majority of the people. Civil weddings have increased since 2000 but the majority’s preference continues to be the religious ritual.

Based on the data from the 2008 European Value Survey, the attendance of religious services seems to be widespread among Cypriots; almost 60% said that they attend religious services at least once a month whereas almost 30% said that they attend religious services once a week or more often.
