Annotation: The article is devoted to the analysis of translations of the medieval Latin sequence Victimae Paschalis into English, Italian and Russian. The texts selected on theological and popularization sites served as the material for the study. They were written during the 20th century and belong to different cultural traditions. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in our time religious literature is considered as part of the global literary process. In particular, Christian medieval Latin hymnography is considered as part of the corpus of medieval poetic texts. The presence of modern translations into folk languages testifies to the interest in society in this genre. The tasks were to analyze translations and identify translation techniques and tactics, to explore the translation vocabulary, to consider the cultural component of the translations, to explore the texts in question from the point of view of the translators' worldview. The analysis showed that sequence translations reflect different worldview systems and goals, which determined different translation strategies in the given languages.
