Abstract

The modern world and its challenges, including the coronavirus disease, due to the massive spread of the latter, experiences a situation, which can be compared to a global disaster. The epidemic disease has definitely influenced the collective consciousness in each country and thus caused the mass insecurity, instability, fear and, as a result, the conscious and unconscious invocation of Biblical Christian imperatives (regulatory guidelines – Bible commandments) for both each individual and the whole community. In various countries, mass media report every day spreading rates and geography of this dreaded virus, thus causing the mass anxiety and emotional burnout, which have become the everyday global lifestyle. During such a difficult period, people take a new look at their existence, their possibilities and shift the focus of their value-based world outlook. Love of life, individual spirituality and turning from bare physiological requirements towards high-toned and spiritual values become a backbone of human’s striving to overcome the psychological discomfort. This pandemic axiological dominating idea made actual a new scientific discourse of humanitaristics as a whole and of linguistics in particular; the object of the study includes those Biblical Christian (religious) imperatives, which influence the mass and individual consciousness, the so-called Covidian consciousness, and, due to to their ontology, shall reduce the emotional tension and support communities’ getting out of stresses and the renewal of usual comfortable life, which in any case will not be the same as before the pandemic.
