The contribution by the correspondent of the Czech Ethnographical society Rudolf Wilhelm deals with a small site of pilgrimage of regional significance in Šebetov. He draws on his childhood memories from the beginning of the 20th century, when he visited this site of pilgrimage dedicated to St. Anna. Participation in the pilgrimage included a religious part as well as entertainment; pilgrims also had the opportunity to make small purchases. Especially children were allured by this secular part of the pilgrimage thanks to the rich offer of sweets, carousels and other attractions.

The research was aimed at identifying changes in tourist traffic - religious tourism and museum tourism to the Museum of the Holy Father John Paul II Family Home in Wadowice in 1996-2019. The museum was opened in 1984 in the house where Karol Wojtyła, Pope John Paul II, was born in 1920. The thorough reconstruction between 2010 and 2014 resulted in the establishment of a museum with a modern multimedia narrative exhibition. In recent years, the museum has been visited by more than 200 thousand tourists a year, including 40 thousand foreigners from more than 100 countries worldwide. During the years 1996-2019 the number of international tourists rose more than twice. The greatest boom in the visits to the museum was noted in 2005 and was associated with the disease, death, funeral, and increasing worship of Pope John Paul II. Following decreased interest in visits to the museum during the period of 2010-2014, which was due to the museum renovation, a revival and increase in visits to the museum was observed again. Changes that were observed in the museum during the last twenty-five years were identified, among other things, thanks to field research involving observations and interviews with museum curators and staff. Analyses of tourist visits to the museum were based on detailed data provided by the museum managers. In the elaboration of the collected research results descriptive-analytical, dynamic-comparative and cartographic methods were used.

Next to the language, history (or rather historical memory) or inhabited a territory of the common name, religion is considered as one of the determinants of ethnic identity. Ethnicity happens to be context-sensitive, because of certain ethnic characteristics such as language, customs, traditions, while religion manifests themselves in particular situations. Ethnicity – which is particularly evident in modern times – is multidimensional, because of many ways we can distinguish or define social groups. Religion, in turn, can be treated as a cultural system. This article deals with the role it plays religion (understood as a system of meanings, as a cultural system) in shaping the identity of an ethnic minority – Kashubs. Kashubians, an ethnic minority living in northern Poland, speak a regional – Kashubian. They are predominantly Catholic, and the Catholic religion plays a significant part in their lives (even today). This article presents the meaning of pilgrimage in the creation of Kashubian group identity.

Aim. Pilgrimage thus belongs to the oldest non-economic forms of migration and is a phenomenon that has intertwined throughout the history of religions. The aim of the article is to emphasize the important position of religious tourism as one of its forms. Based on the deep-rooted tradition of wandering in Slovakia, characterize important places of pilgrimage of national and perhaps partly international significance. Method. Terrain reconnaissance together with analysis of archival and parish documents. Results. Numerous Marian temples and chapels testify to the Marian veneration in Slovakia. Of the 5925 known patronages of churches and chapels (even those that have disappeared) in Slovakia, 1762 are dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Of these Marian patrons, 329 are consecrated by the Seven Sorrows of Our Virgin Mary. The result of field research is an analysis of six pilgrimage sites of national importance in Slovakia. Conclusion. Slovakia is a strongly Christian country with a tradition of wandering, as evidenced by many local and regional pilgrimage sites. Pilgrimage sites are understood as contact points that God has marked, they are the intersections where the ways of God meet the ways of people. There are mostly Marian pilgrimage sites in Slovakia and six of them (Marianka, Staré Hory, Levoča, Šaštín, Nitra, Ľutina) are of national importance.

Ethnologists have been studying how people visit their former homelands mainly because of the semantic importance of the notions home, homelessness, nostalgia, roots and identity. Over the years, hundreds of people have moved to Estonia from Upper Suetuk, the village that was established by Estonian immigrants in southern Siberia in the 1850s. The former villagers visit Upper Suetuk frequently because the village identity and villagers’ solidarity have traditionally been strong in Siberia. The highlights of these visits are celebrations of St. John’s Day, on July 6 and 7, when the anniversary of the village is also celebrated. The aim of this article is to analyse a two-week trip to Upper Suetuk in summer 2010 by a group of people originating from the village. The authors present the trip to the former home village as a pilgrimage and analyse it by applying Victor Turner’s model of rite of passage. While collecting data for the research, the authors relied substantially on video camera as a methodological tool, in addition to participant observation and interviewing. The main focus of the analyses lies on the liminal phase of the trip, when the individuals find themselves withdrawn from normal modes of social action. The authors concentrate on the group’s behaviour (communitas) in the state of anti-structure, as well as on emotional and sensory aspects of this liminal phase of the trip. One of the most important notions here is the sense of freedom: many members of the group experienced it during the trip in Siberia, knowing that it cannot be transported back home. The authors show how the codes of language and behaviour keep changing during the trip; what significance the landscapes, buildings, special places and objects have for the people visiting the village after years of absence; how memories and sensory perception contribute to the emotional and embodied experience of the visitors. The trip to the former home village on St. John’s Day is a good indicator of the interaction between the present and former villagers and it can be useful for analysing the identity of both groups. The reason why people go for a pilgrimage – be it the real one or the quasi-pilgrimage as in this case – is to gain blessing, health, harmony and freedom. This paper is an attempt to demonstrate that pilgrimage-like trips can be undertaken also with an aim to go back to the roots or to the place of origin, in order to reinforce one’s identity. By visiting the former homeland, “the pilgrims” blend their two separate and somewhat partial identities into a single, coherent one.

Ideas and practices about the transfer of substances believed to be charged with positive or negative properties are significant features of pilgrimages. Oftenneglected features of pilgrimages can be addressed by adopting concepts from the Cognitive Science of Religion. Religious pilgrimages are popular phenomena that are based on ritual interaction with culturally-postulated counterintuitive supernatural agents. This article partly refers to and analyses ethnographic data gathered during fieldwork among Hindu pilgrims in Nepal and Tibet. The pilgrims received items to take home from the pilgrimage site but they also left other items there. This constituted a transfer of contagious substances that carried blessings and supernatural agency/power and it enabled the discharging of defilement, sin or evil. The aim of this article is to show how the beliefs about substance transfer are shaped by cultural institutions and by cognitive selection pressures related to psychological essentialism and concepts of agency and contagion relating to counterintuitive agents.

Catholic abbeys destroyed during the 16th century reformation, as well as Orthodox abbeys abandoned in the 20th century, have recently become the centre of restoration movement in Estonia. Various institutions and people have contributed to the reviving of catholic-style pilgrimages, which are both organised institutionally and undertaken privately, sometimes differing from a sightseeing tour mainly in name. As the Estonian pilgrimage culture is re-arising, it is characterised by its oecumenical nature. In Estonia, the tradition of pilgrimages has been historically continuous only to the Orthodox abbeys of Kuremäe and Petseri (Pechory). Everything else is religion tourism. Both private and organised treks involve a geographically wide scope outside Estonia. The following pilgrimage destinations are compared: a) the Svete Gore sacral complex in Slovenia – a reanimated religious Catholic centre, b) key Orthodox centres in Bulgaria: the abbey and chapel of Rila Ivan, carrier of national identity, symbolic of religious continuity throughout the Middle Ages and modern times, and ancient cultural and religious sites of Momchilovtsi village chapels. The latter with its sacral architecture represent an expression of personal perception of religion, used as a building ground for tourism, specifically a village environment living off on religion tourism. The newest layer, the so-called secular pilgrimage sites, in which celebrations include many traits of festivals, is found in Kumrovec, where a monument was erected at the birthplace of Josip Broz Tito, the former president of Yugoslavia. The revival of pilgrimages shares many common traits in post-socialist countries. Of particular interest is the integration of existing and created natural and other sacred sites in the culture of new spiritual and religious movements.

W artykule tym podjęto próbę opisu pieśni pielgrzymkowych, jako specyficznego gatunku tekstów wykonywanych przez pielgrzymów w trakcie wędrówki i podczas pobytu w sanktuariach. W pierwszej części omówiono dotychczasowe sposoby definiowania pieśni pielgrzymkowych oraz przedstawiono propozycję nowej definicji odwołującej się do elementów tekstowych, w których uwidacznia się specyficzny kontekst wykonawczy omawianych utworów. W drugiej części artykułu zaprezentowano szczegółową analizę tekstowych wykładników sytuacji wykonawczej, wskazujących na róże etapy pielgrzymki i różne działania pielgrzymów. Ostatnia część poświęcona jest analizie funkcji pieśni pielgrzymkowych w kontekście teorii procesów społecznych Victora Turnera. Analizy prowadzą do wniosku, że w szerszej perspektywie główna funkcja pieśni pielgrzymkowych polegała na kreowaniu określonych zachowań i sposobów myślenia pielgrzymów oraz na ochronie i stabilizowaniu podstawowych struktur społecznych, które na czas pielgrzymki ulegały zawieszeniu bądź rozluźnieniu.

The paper describes songs performed by pilgrims on their way to sanctuaries and during their stay there, presenting them as a specific genre of texts. In the first part of the paper, the author discusses the way pilgrimage songs were understood in earlier works. Furthermore, he proposes their new definition, referring to these elements of the texts which demonstrate the specific context in which the songs were performed. In the second part of the paper, the author analyses in detail textual signs which indicate various activities undertaken by pilgrims and refer to the stages of their journey. Finally, he focuses on the functions of pilgrimage songs and analyses them in the context of Victor Turner’s theory of ritual process. The conclusion of the analysis is that in a broad perspective, the main function of these songs was to create certain behaviours and ways of thinking, as well as to protect and stabilise the fundamental social structures which were temporarily loosened or suspended during pilgrimage.

This article analyses Book V of De Aedificiis, specifically focusing on Aed. V, 6–9. Building on previous studies that demonstrate Procopius’ journey within this book along an ancient road traditionally used by pilgrims, it is noted how, in what can be considered the second part of the book, the historian focuses on the churches built by Justinian for the Theotokos, all situated on high points in Palestine. Based on this, the article seeks to explain how this insistence on the churches of the Virgin on hillsides, combined with the theme of pilgrimage, serves court propaganda, which may have promoted a de-Judaization and a de-Nestorianization of Palestine. Additionally, it is hypothesized that Procopius may have drawn inspiration, given the subject matter, from a genre closely related to pilgrimage, such as that of itineraria.

According to the gospels, Jesus was baptized by John on the east bank of the Jordan, but apart from the fact that it was across the river from Jericho no details are given. The reports left by the earliest pilgrims and archaeological remains, permit us to pinpoint with a very high degree of accuracy the site venerated as the place of the baptism of Jesus in the Byzantine period. What interested pilgrims of all periods, however, was the water of the river in which by immersion they could renew their baptism. It was irrelevant to them whether they reached the water from the east bank or the west bank. Thus the current debate between Israel and Jordan is pointless.

Kwestia ukraińska podczas IV pielgrzymki Jana Pawła II do Polski

The article presents the 4th pilgrimage of Pope John Paul II to Poland as a visit of a head of state – the Holy See – to Poland, with respect to the pope’s Eastern-European policy: towards the collapsing USSR, Ukraine and the Ukrainians and Polish-Ukrainian relations. The analysis takes accout of Ukrainian threads of the pope’s visit in the context of his earlier Ukraine and the Ukrainians policy. The subject of reborn Polish state’s eastern policy was, in the pope’s point of view, a part of comprehensive Polish vision of policy in the European context. Sermons from Przemyśl, Lubaczów, Łomża and Białystok, as well as from Kraków inAugust, during two parts of the pope’s 1991 visit, were a chain of statements regarding relationships of Poland and the Poles with their eastern neighbours and the role of Poland in the international arena in the context of the unification of Europe – this is how one should perceive the issue of Ukraine in John Paul II’s visit schedule. The strongest political accent was the conflict concerning the Carmel of Przemyśl. It was not only a demonstrative refusal of obedience to the pope, shown by a group of catholics, but also an attack on his policy towards the USSR and the region of former Soviet domination.

Polityka Jana Pawła II wobec Ukrainy wciąż nie doczekała się całościowego opracowania, mimo że kwestia ta w oczywisty sposób stanowiła jeden z istotnych elementów strategii politycznej papieża wobec Związku Socjalistycznych Republik Sowieckich (ZSRS). Był to z pewnością potencjalnie ważny sygnał polityki Stolicy Apostolskiej wobec Polski w okresie transformacji z punktu widzenia badań nad procesem współdziałania Stolicy Apostolskiej i Stanów Zjednoczonych w walce z ZSRS w latach osiemdziesiątych, a także wcześniej. Podobnie zresztą nie doczekała się opracowania polityka Jana Pawła II wobec Polski w okresie transformacji, już po przełomie lat 1989–1991, a przecież IV pielgrzymka bez wątpienia stanowiła jej kluczowe ogniwo.

The Church's catechetical document indicate a necessity of religious education of people who are at any period of their lives. In consequence, also people facing the end of their lives should be included in it. It seems that such people need a lot of spiritual support and of waking their hope in the situation when one's strength and living perspectives are getting weaker. The pilgrimage movement offering coach trips to sanctuaries and places where religious cult is practiced is a chance of religious education of such people. The reason for it is the fact that a pilgrimage has the same stages as human life. In order to make such education possible an educated and competent catechist is necessary, who knows the arcana of work with people of advanced age.

The policies of Duke Bogislaw X of Pomerania and his reforms in administration, finance and jurisprudence during his long reign have received great attention in research. A more interesting material, however, was his pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1497. Especially the outward journey on the sea, on which the pilgrim ship got into a fierce battle with a Turkish squadron. This event at that time attracted the attention of local and foreign chroniclers, of whom mainly the Pomeranian ones praised Bogislaw’s heroic fight against the Turks and the resulting rescue of the galley from the greatest danger. This highly acclaimed struggle of Bogislaw, which according to those reports gave him a triumphant reception on his return to Venice, was later considered in Pomerania and today again in Poland as one of the most important achievements and, glorified in poems, paintings and prints. The question of whether and how Bogislaw himself, his contemporaries or subsequent reports influenced the way in which the events were presented will be explored in the article. There is also an Italian report, probably printed in Venice in 1497, which praises the Venetian captain in his courageous behavior against the Turks.

Polityka księcia pomorskiego Bogusława X oraz jego reformy w administracji, finansach i sądownictwie podczas jego długiego panowania cieszyły się dużym zainteresowaniem badaczy. Niezwykłym wydarzeniem była jego pielgrzymka do Ziemi Świętej w 1497 roku, zwłaszcza podróż morska, podczas której załoga statku pielgrzymiego wdała się w zaciętą bitwę z eskadrą turecką. Wydarzenie to już w czasach Bogusława zwróciło uwagę kronikarzy, zwłaszcza pomorskich, którzy wychwalali bohaterską walkę księcia z Turkami i uratowanie statku z wielkiego niebezpieczeństwa. Zwycięstwo Bogusława, który zgodnie z przekazami został przyjęty triumfalnie w Wenecji, a także na rodzimym Pomorzu, zostało uznane za jedno z ważniejszych osiągnięć księcia i rozsławione w wierszach, malarstwie i grafice. Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest pytaniu, czy i w jaki sposób sam Bogusław i jemu współcześni czy też późniejsze przekazy wpłynęły na taką wersję wydarzeń. Omówiony zostanie włoski raport, prawdopodobnie powstały w Wenecji w 1497 roku, który podkreśla zasługi weneckiego kapitana statku i jego odważne zachowanie w potyczce z Turkami.

This paper aims to present the nature and value of a theological seminary in the process of educating clerical students for the priesthood. The source base for this research objective was the speech of Pope John Paul II, which he gave during the consecration of the seminary building in Koszalin and his exhortation Pastores dabo vobis published a year later, i.e. in 1992. The achievement of the research objective was carried out in three stages. The first one concerned the unveiling of the structure of the theological seminary as an institution. Its essence was included in the concept of home by Pope John Paul II. In his speech in Koszalin, he clearly defined what this home would be like, namely the home of study, work on oneself, prayer and growth in a fraternal community. In this expression he included the nature of the theological seminary. In the second stage, the analytical research was aimed at presenting the purposes of the formation of clerical students for priestly service. In this speech, Pope John Paul II indicated four purposed of this formation, which derive from the concept of the theological seminary as a home of study, work on oneself, prayer and growth in a fraternal community. In the understanding of Pope John Paul II, the definition of seminary as a home of study cannot fail to correspond to the main purpose of its formative activity, namely to shape the minds of clerical students in the spirit of Christ’s Truth, which he included in the concept that they should be strong in mind. The definition of seminary as a home of work on oneself in terms of the pur posefulness of seminary formation is supposed to be the spiritual formation of clerical students, the essence of which was expressed by Pope John Paul II in the statement that they should be strong in spirit. Next, when the seminary is perceived as the home of prayer, its purpose in this space is to form the clerical students in prayer, which Pope John Paul II in his speech expressed in the concept of being strong in prayer. Finally, when we perceive the seminary as a home of growth for the clerical students in a fraternal community, its purpose in this respect is to shape them in an attitude of sensitivity towards their neighbours, which Pope John Paul II expressed in the concept of loving others. The third stage of analyses made it possible to present the topicality of the speech of Pope John Paul II, which he delivered during the dedication of the Higher Theological Seminary in Koszalin for the operation of theological seminaries and their formation of clerical students in the present reality. The analyses confirmed that the existence of theological seminaries is necessary, although in the current reality it is necessary to correct their functioning in relation to contemporary challenges.

Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu zaprezentowanie natury i wartości seminarium duchownego w procesie formacji kleryków do kapłaństwa. Bazę źródłową dla tak określonego celu badawczego stanowiło przemówienie Jana Pawła II, jakie wygłosił podczas poświęcenia budynku seminarium w Koszalinie oraz opublikowana rok później po tym wydarzeniu, tj. w 1992 roku, jego adhortacja Pastores dabo vobis. Osiągnięcie celu badawczego realizowano w trzech etapach. Pierwszy z nich dotyczył odsłonięcia struktury seminarium duchownego jako instytucji. Jego istotę Jan Paweł II zawarł w pojęciu dom. W przemówieniu wygłoszonym w Koszalinie jednoznacznie określił, jaki miałby być dom: studiów, pracy nad sobą, modlitwy i wzrastania w braterskiej wspólnocie. W tym określeniu zawarł naturę seminarium duchownego. W drugim etapie analityczne badania były skierowane na zaprezentowanie celów formacji kleryków do posługi kapłańskiej. W owym przemówieniu Jan Paweł II wskazał na cztery cele tejże formacji, które są pochodną ujęcia seminarium duchownego jako domu studiów, pracy nad sobą, modlitwy i wzrastania w braterskiej wspólnocie. W rozumieniu Jana Pawła II określeniu seminarium jako domu studiów nie może nie odpowiadać zasadniczy cel jego formacyjnej działalności, a mianowicie ukształtowanie umysłów kleryków w duchu Chrystusowej Prawdy, który On zawarł w pojęciu, aby byli mocni umysłem. Określenie seminarium jako domu pracy nad sobą jest odpowiednikiem w aspekcie celowości formacji seminarium (duchowe ukształtowanie kleryków), którego istotę Jan Paweł II ujął w stwierdzeniu, aby byli mocni duchem. Następnie, gdy seminarium jest postrzegane jako dom modlitwy, to w tej przestrzeni jego celem działania ma być modlitewne uformowanie kleryków, co Jan Paweł II w owym przemówieniu zawarł w pojęciu mocni modlitwą. I w końcu, gdy postrzegamy seminarium jako dom wzrastania kleryków w braterskiej wspólnocie, to celem jego działania w tym względzie ma być ukształtowanie w nich postawy wrażliwości na bliźnich, co Jan Paweł II wyraził w pojęciu kochający bliźnich. Trzeci etap analiz umożliwił zaprezentowanie aktualności przemówienia Jana Pawła II, jakie wygłosił podczas poświęcenia Wyższego Seminarium Duchownego w Koszalinie dla działania seminariów duchownych i prowadzenia przez nie formacji kleryków w obecnej rzeczywistości. Analizy potwierdziły, że istnienie seminariów duchownych jest niezbędne, choć nieodzowna jest w aktualnej rzeczywistości korekta ich funkcjonowania w odniesieniu do współczesnych wyzwań.

The Cassubian pilgrimage movement corresponds with the human characteristic of being „on the way”. Its focal points are the Marian shrines with miraculous images. Due to the recent social and technological changes the way people participate in pilgrimages has evolved. More remote locations have become much more accessible. On the other hand, the laicisation phenomena have also taken their toll and there are fewer participants than before. A new opportunity arose from popular piety of local communities such as Sianowo, Swarzewo and Piaseczno. There shrines are still popular among pilgrims during their patronal feasts. Undoubtedly, the pilgrimage movement is a key to understand the Polish religiousness as such.

Ruch pielgrzymkowy Kaszubów wpisuje się w kondycję człowieka, który znajduje się „w drodze”. Specyfika ruchu pielgrzymowania związana jest z istnieniem miejsc, gdzie znajdowały się cudowne wizerunki Matki Bożej. Zmiany społeczne, a także postęp technologiczny sprawił, iż zmienił się sposób pielgrzymowania, natomiast w zasięgu pielgrzymów zaistniały nowe miejsca. Postępująca współcześnie laicyzacja sprawia, iż zmniejsza się nasilenie ruchu pielgrzymkowego. Ogromną nadzieją jest jednak pobożność ludowa małych ojczyzn, sprawiająca, iż miejsca takie jak Sianowo, Swarzewo i Piaseczno są nadal licznie odwiedzane w czasie odpustów. Pielgrzymowanie jest kluczem do zrozumienia w ogóle polskiej religijności.

The article mentions as well a little known work Peregrinatio ad Terram Sanctam by Johannes Poloner (15th century). Till now, the articles have been discussed separately, in literary or religious contexts. However, due to an increasing interest in the geopoetics, it is beneficial to look at all accounts on journeys to the Holy Land collectively and through them get to know about the lands along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, connecting Syria and Egypt. The aim of this article is to present the arguments confirming the legitimacy of the use of geopoetics in the analysis of old texts. Moreover, the article points out to the issues discussed further in the thesis, e.g. the development of “description” in Polish literary tradition being one of two basic narrative elements

W poniższym opracowaniu, Ziemia Święta jest traktowana jako tereny życia i działalności Chrystusa i obejmuje współczesny Izrael. Autorka skupia się zasadniczo na miejscach świętych judaizmu i chrześcijaństwa, ale wskazuje też ich powiązania i wartość dla innych religii. W artykule zostały przedstawione przykłady zarówno elementów natury, które poprzez swoją wyjątkowość pozwalają odczuć pierwiastek metafizyczny, jak i obiektów sakralnych, stworzonych przez człowieka. Wszystkie te miejsca, będąc świadkami objawień Boga narodowi wybranemu lub upamiętniając zbawcze zdarzenia związane z Jezusem Chrystusem są powszechnie otaczane czcią.

Thanks to the majesty, splendor and diversity, all those places let to feel metaphysical character of the Holy Land. They are witnesses of revelation of God or memorials of the acts of salvation connected with Jesus Christ. Therefore, they have become places of broad religious veneration.

More than 20 years after the fall of the Communist regime, we are witnessing the unprecedented development of religious pilgrimage in Romania, a country where, according to the latest census, 84% of the population self-identifies as Orthodox Christian. Apart from the pilgrimages to well-known destinations (Jerusalem, Rome, etc.) organized by the Romanian Patriarchy’s Pilgrimage Bureau, a separate category is the improvised, hybrid pilgrimages, both religious and touristic, organized by individuals using hired minibuses. This paper offers an ethnographic description of a pilgrimage. The focus is on the relationship between music, ritual, the sacred space of the pilgrimage and the public space. Music is used as a barrier and immaterial border to the ritual space, while in its interior it is better suited for the emotional control and the proper management of pilgrims. The analysis of pilgrimages points to new forms of blending of music and ritual, outside established institutional frameworks, as well as to changing notions of pilgrimage, movement, religious practice and piety.
