Abstract
The author of the article explores the place and role of fantasy in the process of the emergence and functioning of religious art. In this scientific study amenable to the demarcation of the concept of religious and artistic fantasy. This phenomenon is analyzed both as a result of figurative generalized thinking and as an inner spiritual necessity of awareness of the irrational. Fantasy, the author is presented as an indispensable element of religious art, which reflects the forms of existence, knowledge and human activities. The spiritual situation against the background of the realities of modern Ukraine seems to be new trends in the consideration of such a phenomenon as religious art. A significant role in the process of the birth and development of religious art, and their interaction, was played by human fantasy. But her role was polyhedral character. From the side of aesthetic feelings, with all their strength and their diversity of interests directed at a real object, they acted as a specific ''practical-spiritual'' form of its assimilation. Religious feelings are always directed at illusory, non-existent objects. Religious fantasy populates virtual reality with supernatural beings, ascribes supernatural properties and connections to real objects and phenomena, endows its "offenses" with unlimited power over nature and man, and sees the world as the result of God's creation and as a sphere of the manifestation of divine will. And as a result, it is embodied in the eternal, divine masterpieces of world religious art, able to guide a person to the eternal, good, and bright.
