The main religion traditionally practiced in Latvia is Christianity. As of 2019[update], it is the largest religion (68.84%),[1] though only about 7% of the population attends religious services regularly.[2]
Lutheranism is the main Christian denomination among ethnic Latvians due to strong historical links with the Nordic countries and Northern Germany (see Hanseatic League), while Catholicism is most prevalent in eastern Latvia (Latgale), mostly due to Polish influence. The Latvian Orthodox Church is the third largest Christian church in Latvia, with adherents primarily among the Russian-speaking minority.
