Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of value systems which determine the sacred dimension of the socio-cultural experience of the people. Sacramental is considered not in the religious context, but as the highest value that lies outside the understanding. Sacramental is an indicator of the state of culture. The change in the social environment, ideological orientations (which is inherent to immigrants at one time or another) causes a change in sacred values. It is proved that, having fallen into an inocultural environment, a person strives to preserve their national identity, which helps to get „rooted” in the new place. It also provides preserving their unique image in the alien socio-cultural environment and guarantees a sense of security, stability, cultural uprooting. In the works of Canadian authors of Ukrainian origin, the sacred space of the individual’s personal existence is determined by the higher spiritual values created by his own people; and hence – is formed due to the sensation of religious representations, the fatherland’s land of Ukraine, the native language, elements of national culture and history, common national myths, historical memory.
