    Koncepcje duszy i zaświatów w obrzędach pogrzebowych i zaduszkowych
    Kupisiński, Zdzisław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2016)
    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.

    Ludowa wizja życia pozagrobowego w parafii Miłosierdzia Bożego w Brzezinach (diecezja sandomierska)
    Siroń-Tałanda, Agnieszka (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2016)
    The article is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the Divine Mercy Parish of Brzeziny. The paper is about folks’ believes and views of afterlife. First part of paper is about relationship between the living and the dead. The people believe that the contact between souls and living is possible. The departed warn their loved ones of danger or death and beg for the conversion or seek prayer. In the subsequent sections we present people’s views about the particular judgment where a soul will go right after living the body, and about the Last Judgement which will occur after the Second Coming. The last part of paper describes places, where soul is going after the particular judgment. Heaven is described as a place of everlasting happiness and seeing God, whereas hell is described as a place of everlasting punishment, where the souls of condemned people go. Purgatory is an intermediate state where the souls undergo purification in order to be will God.
