Summary/Abstract: The linguistic and semantic realizations of the cultural concept clothing correlated with the values and anti-values in the Middle ages are examined in this paper. The authors have studied linguistic data found in hagiographies of women saints in Bdinski zbornik from the 14th century and in the New Bulgarian damascenes from the 17th century. The system of words and phrases that present concept clothing and their distribution in different contexts are analyzed in a relation with values, anti-values and ambivalent realizations in Christian culture.
