The article discussed the issue of the soul in the folk imagination during mortuary and funeral rituals in Poland. The topic has been developed based on both ethnographic field research of funeral and All Souls’ Day rituals conducted by the author in Radom and Opoczno regions in years 1995-2005, and the relevant literature. The article consists of three paragraphs: the first discusses beliefs about the soul in folk beliefs, the second – death and funeral rites, and the third focuses on remembering the dead in the annual rites. Most Polish people are Catholics, and they believe that the human soul is immortal. For them, death is not the end of life, but its continuation in a different reality. In the popular consciousness just after the death of a man, his soul appears before God the Judge for the so-called Particular Judgement. Depending on the judgment of the court, the soul can be send to the purgatory, heaven or hell. All folk rituals and prayer vigil at the dead are subordinated to this goal: to help the soul of the deceased to pass through the threshold of death and achieve a state of happiness in heaven. The memory of the dead continues throughout the year. This is evident in the annual folk rituals, where the souls of the dead are invited to family celebrations, their favorite food is prepared and people’s behavior towards them is defined by traditional canons of conduct. Nowadays evidence of the memory about the souls is given through the visits to the graves of dead, in order to decorate them with flowers and light the votive candles, signifying the light of the world. The souls of the dead are remembered in private and community prayers. Masses are also ordered in their intention to help souls in purgatory to attain a state of eternal happiness in heaven.

Artykuł podejmuje kwestię wizji duszy w wyobraźni ludowej podczas obrzędów pogrzebowych i zaduszkowych w Polsce. Zagadnienie zostało opracowane na podstawie etnograficznych badań terenowych nad obrzędowością pogrzebową i zaduszkową, przeprowadzonych przez autora w Opoczyńskiem i Radomskiem w latach 1995-2005, odwołano się także do literatury etnologicznej opisującej podejmowane zagadnienia w innych regionach Polski. Opracowanie składa się z trzech paragrafów: pierwszy przedstawia wyobrażenia o duszy w wierzeniach ludowych, drugi umieranie i obrzędy pogrzebowe, w trzecim zaprezentowano pamięć o zmarłych w obrzędowości dorocznej. Mieszkańcy Polski to w większości katolicy. Wierzą oni, że dusza ludzka jest nieśmiertelna. Dla nich śmierć nie jest końcem życia, ale jego kontynuacją, tylko w innej rzeczywistości. W świadomości ludowej zaraz po śmierci człowieka jego dusza staje przed Bogiem Sędzią na tzw. sąd szczegółowy. Zgodnie z wyrokiem owego sądu dusza może znaleźć się w czyśćcu, niebie lub piekle. Wszystkie obrzędy ludowe i czuwanie modlitewne przy zmarłym podporządkowane są jednemu celowi: aby pomóc duszy zmarłego przejść przez próg śmierci i osiągnąć stan szczęśliwości w niebie. Pamięć o zmarłym trwa przez cały rok. Widoczne jest to w dorocznej obrzędowości ludowej, gdzie zaprasza się dusze zmarłych na uroczystości rodzinne, przygotowując dla nich ulubione potrawy i zachowując względem nich określone przez tradycję kanony postępowania. Obecnie daje się dowody pamięci o duszach poprzez nawiedzanie mogił zmarłych celem przyozdobienia ich kwiatami i zapalenia na nich zniczy, oznaczających światłość świata. Dusze zmarłych poleca się pamięci modlitewnej zarówno prywatnie przez poszczególne osoby, jak i wspólnotowo, zamawiając w ich intencji Msze św., aby pomóc im osiągnąć stan szczęśliwości w niebie.

The present article explains the concept of the research method, what such a method is in the general meaning, then it presents those research methods that are most frequently used in writing master’s and doctoral dissertations in ethnology of religion that undertake issues connected with folk religiousness. In dissertations such methods, among others, are used, as the method of ethnographic field research, the method of analysis and critique of writings, the comparative method and the theological method. Most attention was devoted to the ethnographic method, because ethnology is not included in the curriculum of theological studies. Due to the complexity of the subject of research, that is of religion, it requires a multi-faceted approach, so that its essence as well as the rites and rituals that are performed in it can be properly understood.

The aim of the paper is to present Saint Catharine of Alexandria and Saint Andrew in the context of country-folk religiosity and traditions. Memorials of these two Saints in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church fall at the end of liturgical year and the beginning of Advent. The Feasts of these two Saints also became the focal point of pre-Christian folk customs and beliefs pertaining mostly to matrimonial fortune-telling along with some magical accents. The vigil of the Feast of Saint Andrew was devoted to matrimonial predictions of young girls, whereas, the vigil of Saint Catharine's Feast Day was related to the same for young men. The author used ethnographic data gathered during field work conducted in the Opoczno region in the years 1990-1993, and in the Opoczno and Radom regions of Poland in the years 1995-2005. The first section contains a short biography of Saint Catharine, further broadened by description of her role in county-folk customs and traditions. In the second section, Saint Andrew was introduced in similar manner. The Feasts of these two Saints are interwoven with a wealth of folk beliefs in supernatural beings both good and malicious, which are believed to dwell on earth and affect human life. Under the influence of Christianity these two Saints have been drawn into the circle of folk beliefs, with some reference to pre-Christian cults. In present day Polish folk culture not much is left of those old beliefs and customs, and Saint Catharine and Saint Andrew are merely perceived as Patron Saints of pre-marital chastity and specific professions. The example set by these and other Saints is relevant to the lives of the contemporary faithful thought, since it shows how one can boldly follow Christ and preach the Gospel.

The liturgy of Advent honors the Blessed Virgin as Mother awaiting the birth of Her Child. The day of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady is the first Marian feast and initiates anew liturgical year. In popular religiosity of Advent, Mary epitomizes spiritual rebirth; hence the faithful pray novenas and take part in numerous devotions to Our Lady. One of the most popular devotions is everyday morning Rorate Mass (Rorate Coeli), where during the Mass aadditional candle – called „roratka” is lit. The personal and family life of the Polish faithful, and especially expecting women, along with all farm activities are entrusted to the care of the Blessed Virgin. In country folk tradition, devotion to Our Lady plays a significant role, since Mary as our Mother most fully understands our needs and can intercede for us in Heaven. The paper consists of two parts. In the first part we introduce the figure of the Blessed Virgin, emphasizing her place and function in the Advent liturgy. In the second part, we present popular religiosity, which encompasses numerous customs and folk observances associated with the Advent Marian feasts and devotions.
