Kulty świętych w piśmiennictwie Serbskiej Cerkwi Prawosławnej” poddaje szczegółowej analizie badawczej wizerunki i funkcje świętych kobiet w serbskim imaginarium narodowym i duchowym, z uwzględnieniem tła historyczno-kulturowego oraz społecznego państwa i Kościoła. Rozprawa ma w dużym stopniu charakter pionierski, ponieważ przedstawiana tematyka, traktowana kompleksowo jako integralny składnik historii państwa i narodu pozostawała dotąd poza zakresem naukowego zainteresowania, i nie tylko w Polsce, ale również w samej Serbii, gdzie dopiero ostatnie lata przynoszą aktywizację badaczy na tym polu. Podstawowy materiał badawczy stanowi serbska hagiografia i hymnografia (poezja liturgiczna) z czasów dawnych oraz współczesna. Przedstawione w pracy analizy pokazują postaci kobiet w nowej perspektywie. „Milczące” często w historii, „przemówiły” w kultach cerkiewnych. Kobiety – żony, matki, władczynie...

The text of Helen's life shows them аs a model of perfect symphony of sacerdotium and imperium. She fulfils St. Sava political ideology and is famous in Serbia because of her generous patronage over the Church, charity deeds and active political life. Despite being Roman Catholic by birth she was cannonized as a Orthodox saint and she kept friendly relations with the Orthodox Church spiritual authorities.

In the early stage the oldest of these cults had no formal decision on the canonization. They associated holiness of the husbands or sons, and memorial days were celebrated together. Over time, they became authonomous in the Church calendar, which reflected the current political and ecclesiastic needs of Serbia, which also were achieved through specific modeling female holiness. The most dynamic growth can be seen during the reign of the Nemanjić dynasty, especially in the fourteenth and fifteenth century. The disintegration of the Nemanjić state and Turkish rule in Serbia had a negative impact on the developing Church calendar. Short periods of freedom, for example restoration of the Patriarchate of Pec in the period from 1557 to 1776, were connected to the new canonizations, among which at least one was woman.

Repeatedly discussed topics – the privileges, the organization of the Orthodox Church, the distribution of dioceses, the freedom of archbishops’ decisions not only in spiritual matters – and their effect as numerous missions to Viennese court, testify to the importance of this institution for the maintenance of autonomy, guaranteed by imperial privileges, and ultimately building the future independence of Serbia.

Figure of Milica functions in the official Orthodox worship and also in the folk tradition, persisted in the epic songs. The article aims to show the princess as a woman who has played a significant role in the history of the state and the Serbian Orthodox Church. By analogy with the biblical Rachel and the epitome of Virgin Mary, St. Eugenia became a primeval mother in the minds of Orthodox Serbs, a holy defender of the Serbian nation. She is also the patron of the nuns as a perfect example of asceticism and devotion to the god. Epic folk songs dedicated to the Battle of Kosovo imprint on the public memory a monarchical image of the princess. In those texts Milica is symbolically “crowned” tsarina. This gesture is an expression of gratitude for the work and contribution to the state and the Church. Because of the Milica’s connection to the tragedy of Kosovo and the today’s situation in Serbia, the cult of princess is especially gaining importance in the context of the separation of Kosovo and Metohija from Serbia.

The examples of Byzantine transvestite nuns and St. Xenia of Saint Petersburg show how this phenomenon evolved through the ages and was adapted and transformed by Russian Orthodox Church, becoming a significant type of women’s sanctity.

The image of a ruler and a concept of power presented in the text are based on the perception of Angelina as a participant and a heiress of the sacred tradition of Branković dynasty. The service has played an important role in the creation and strengthening of the ruler image in the spiritual culture of the Orthodox Serbs. In addition to strictly liturgical function, it also served as a way of transmission of the elementary set of national religious and political ideas. Hymnography dedicated to St. Angelina was a response to the social and religious needs to canonize the native saints who certify God’s care for Serbian the period of slavery, strengthen the national spirit, contribute to stabilizing the situation in the country.

Angelina (30 VII), Anastasia Nemanic (22 VI), Eughenia – Euphrosinia (tsarina Militsa;
19 VII) and Zlata of Meghlen (13 X) one can observe the changes of the norms applied
to the liturgical language in Serbia. The service of St Angelina, written around 1520 or
1530, was included in the Rakovatch manuscript of Srbljak (1714) edited in the Serbian
version of Church Slavonic. The same book printed in 1761 in Rimnik contained already
the texts in the Russian version of Church Slavonic as did also the Belgrade edition of the
Srbljak edited in 1861. It was only in 1986 that the Holy Synod of the Serbian Orthodox
Church printed Srbljak in Serbian Slavonic, allowing the introduction of seven services
in modern Serbian (including four services translated from Romanian). The last edition
of Srbljak shows general tendencies in contemporary Serbia to use more and more often
the modern Serbian as the liturgical language."

The article discusses the holy mothers depicted in Serbian hagiography: St. Anna Nemanjić, St. Helena Anjou, St. Helena, mother of Uroš V. Its aim is to show their role in relation to the vocation of sons, but also in creating a separate model of holiness, based on the personal virtues and spiritual effort. Mothers’ merits viewed from a historical perspective (especially the various forms of patronage), form the basis for a creation of cult and an elevation to the altars.

An inspiration for a modern reflection in Petković-Dis poetry reaches to the philosophy of Plato, Buddhism and the works of the French symbolists, like Arthur Rimbaud, Stéphane Mallarmé and Paul Verlaine. The poetic image of the world, which the poet creates in his poems, is full of anxieties, irrational feelings and apocalyptic premonitions. Dis texts are a collection of poetry, where a death is a subject of a special veneration and are a proof of extra-rational reality perception and awareness of other, metaphysical world. Dis concepts given in his work will inspire a creativity of Serbian surrealists.
