Zwyczaje religijne i miejsca kultu jako elementy niematerialnego dziedzictwa kulturowego Pomorza Wschodniego
Religious Customs and Places of Worship as Components of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in Eastern Pomerania

Summary/Abstract: The paper refers to the results of previous fieldwork referring to religious phenomena and places of worship as part of intangible cultural heritage in Eastern Pomerania. Even though religion is not strictly included in the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, cultural practices and cultural means of expression are strongly inspired by the religious tradition and faith. For more precise systematization of the discussed issues, these phenomena are classified into three thematic groups (domains): places (space), gestures (practice), the ritual year (time). The first group is described in detail on the basis of ethnographic material.
