This article deals with the notion of style as a vehicle for expressing national identity, with particular attention to the interplay between aesthetic forms, spiritual practices, and broader cultural contexts. The analysis situates stylistic features not only as literary or artistic choices but also as manifestations of a nation’s collective memory, values, and worldview. By focusing on the nexus of “godly practice” and cultural identity, the study highlights how religious and ethical frameworks permeate stylistic strategies in literature and art, shaping both thematic orientation and expressive means. The discussion emphasizes the dual role of style: on the one hand, as a marker of continuity with national traditions, and on the other, as an adaptive mechanism in response to modernization and global cultural flows. Ultimately, the article argues that stylistic expression functions as a symbolic arena where questions of belonging, spirituality, and cultural resilience converge, thus reaffirming style’s central role in the preservation and transformation of national identity.
