Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the topic of a religious picture and small sacred pictures derived from it in the aspect of sacral, aesthetical, and artistic values contained in them and received by a recipient. The phenomenological hermeneutics have been considered to be a proper perspective for analysing questions that bind a religious experience with a sensual one. A category of non-distinguishness that renders the connection between signans andsignatum in reception of art and present in religion, derived from H.-G. Gadamer and expanded by J. Tokarska-Bakir has been applied in the present paper. It allows the investigator to see how the sacral and aesthetic values are recognized in a religious painting or in a small sacred picture
