Summary/Abstract: Immediately after the Second World War the religious services outside chur ches (perhaps the processions connected with Corpus Christi holidays) were not supressed by authorities. Their status was regulated on between war Act of 1932. The greatest of all processions in Corpus Christi holidays regularly rounded the town Square. But after 1960, the policy about catholic Church in Poland were more restricted. The parliament 29th of Mart 1962 edited the Assembles Law, which or dered that the religious assembles need had got especial permission from the local authority. At that time the processions were pushed to the side streets. Similar cases also took place in other localities of Wadowice county. This situation lasted until 1981, when the first “Solidarity” won a longer route of the Corpus Christi procession. Since 1990 after the basic political changes in Poland all religious assembles take place freely.
