Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the postings delivered to Polish Internet prayer intention boxes that were supplied by orants during the coronavirus pandemic in March-April 2020. The examination of this specific type of personal documents allowed to recognize in what ways this extraordinary existential situation was filtered by religious imaginations and incorporated into a transcendent context of meanings. The aim of the analysis was also to identify the perception of the coronavirus by individuals who recorded the prayers, to explore the attitudes presented amid sudden threat and to estimate the scope of the imagined community in intercessions.
