After Ottoman conquests of Serbian lands in the late 14th century, conversion of Orthodox Christian Serbs began.World War I, some Christian widows remarried Muslims and stayed secret Christians, while being "real Muslims" in society.[3]
Anthropological studies attest Muslim families recalling their
slava (patron saint tradition), while some Muslim families in the 19th and 20th century were recorded as still venerating their patron saint and Christmas.[3][4]
Serbian nationalist historiography have used the existence of religious syncretism and Crypto-Christianity in Bosnia and Herzegovina as proof of the Serb origin of Bosnian Muslims.[5]
In Serbian and South Slavic, the term dvoverstvo (двоверство, "double belief, dual faith") is also used.[6][7]
