Summary/Abstract: The extent of evangelisation of popular religiosity has been astonishing in its effectiveness for centuries. Folk customs entered into the church ceremonial through centuries also became elements of identity of individual societies. The long process of the existence of episcopal power in Warmia (1243 - 1772) meant that local folk ceremonial was able to preserve numerous customs over a long period of time in later times. For researchers of this problem, signs collected until the middle of the 20th century form an interesting basis for describing as well as analysing the power of folk religiosity.
