Summary/Abstract: The article describes the religious character of the „Solidarity” movement in years 1980-1989. It became a syntesis and an effect of the one-thousand years old history of Polish spirit and Polish religiosity. The movement was created by a society that was concerned about the lot of its country. The events of 1980-1989 have shown that the Polish society has been drawing strength and hope for a change precisely from the deep faith revealed in religiosity linked to everyday life. Religiosity was perceived as a sign of freedom, a space to experience community, a stimulus for the people to fight for a better future. The fight turned out to be a victorious one.
