The leading motive of 'Forefathers' Eve' by Mickiewicz, the places of the drama's action, the characters' figures, the ways to communicate with God and the world of ghosts refer to the ideas typical of Byzantine-Slavonic spirituality and religious tradition. The work introduces the reader into the unknown to the western culture area of the Orthodox Uniate Church and its priest. It allows to look at the picture of the Holy Mother in the way eastern Christians do - with a sense of direct contact with sacrum. Thus it reveals a significant contest of interpretation, surprising with the variety of meanings.
