The aim of the paper is to analyse the transformations of the forms of late medieval folk piety in Germany and Netherlands. Two types of late medieval religious expression were distinguished: the so called extraverted piety, being a ritualised form faith, and the devotio moderna movement as instantiated by the mysticism of Meister Eckhart. By using the passages from The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis, De theologia mistica by Jacobus de Paradiso and Theologia Germanica both types of piety were presented as preparing the ground for the Reformation.

Baby Jesus’ standing, theft and search is a religious feast that is mainly celebrated within the Andean region of Venezuela, and as time has passed by, it has become part of the national cultural heritage. From our perspective of participant observers of the cultural object, this is an attempt to describe the celebration and to offer a possible hypothesis about the meanings related to the child’s search. Considering the generalized significance of this festivity, it would emphasize the fact that this tradition ratifies and evokes the recreation of several biblical episodes and the constant incorporation of Baby Jesus in the family as well as in the community which turns out to be an exaltation of religious, affective, cultural, and social values.

The article describes the figures of nuns in the prose of Eliza Orzeszkowa and Bolesław Prus, their way of perceiving the world and their role in it, as well as their understanding of God. Orzeszkowa and Prus create completely different images of representatives of the consecrated life. The vision of the strict God of sister Mechtylda is completely different from the image of the merciful Creator of mother Apolonia, whereas the nuns depicted by Prus are simply too busy to express their understanding of God. The accession of the heroines to the monastery is also motivated differently: some of them seek refuge from the here and now, others look for independence or want to help other people.
