spiritual legacy
Faith passed down
Spiritual legacy refers to the intangible inheritance of beliefs, values, and faith traditions passed from one generation to the next.
It encompasses the religious practices, moral teachings, and wisdom that shape how descendants understand meaning and purpose: She saw raising her children in the church as part of her spiritual legacy.
The term often appears in discussions of what people hope to leave behind beyond material wealth—the lasting influence of how they lived and what they believed.
