Abstract

Events that happened in Poland in 2008 and 2013 related to the alleged miracles in Sokółka (in the Podlasie region) and Legnica (in the Silesia region) seriously affected the native ‘sacrosphere.’ Sensational information about the unusual events polarized public opinion by confronting secular and religious worldviews. At the same time, the increase in the devotion of the faithful was accompanied by folklore-forming mechanisms, adding new threads to the ‘miraculous story.’ Ethnographic research performed in the newly founded sanctuaries reveals elements of sensuality specific to folk religiosity. Miracles displaying the motif of blood build the reputation of Sokółka and Legnica as new holy places, attracting pilgrims and tourists from Poland and abroad. Contrary to pessimistic predictions of widespread secularization, there was a revival of the so-called ‘traditional piety.’ Folk religiosity revealed its vitality.

当代波兰新圣地:索科夫卡和勒格尼察两个奇迹的民族志个案研究
2008年和2013年在波兰发生的与索科夫卡(波德拉西地区)和勒格尼察(西里西亚地区)所谓奇迹有关的事件严重影响了当地的“神圣范围”关于这些不寻常事件的耸人听闻的信息通过对抗世俗和宗教世界观而使公众舆论两极分化。与此同时,信徒投入的增加伴随着民间传说的形成机制,为“奇迹故事”增添了新的线索在新建立的圣地进行的民族志研究揭示了民间宗教特有的性感元素。以鲜血为主题的奇迹使索科夫卡和勒格尼察成为新的圣地,吸引了来自波兰和国外的朝圣者和游客。与普遍世俗化的悲观预测相反,所谓的“传统虔诚”正在复兴民间的宗教信仰显示出它的生命力。

期刊介绍: The peer-reviewed Journal of Religion in Europe (JRE) provides a forum for multi-disciplinary research into the complex dynamics of religious discourses and practices in Europe, both historically and contemporary. The Journal’s underlying idea is that religion in Europe is characterized by a variety of pluralisms. There is a pluralism of religious communities that actively engage with one another; there exists a pluralism of societal systems, such as nation, law, politics, economy, science, and art, all of them interacting with religious systems; finally, in a pluralism of scholarly discourses religious studies, legal studies, history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and psychology are addressing the religious dynamics involved.
