The article opens a series of publications on the existence of sacrum in remote places, small, peripheral, less known sanctuaries against the backdrop of religious landscapes. The first of the sanctuary series is Mętków, whose history is presented by Władysław Zarębczan. However, I add anthropological commentary to this story, using categories: religious culture, etiological legend, sanctuary, relics.

The article attempts to extract textual and extratextual planes on which representatives of fauna made their mark in the folklore of the South Slavs, mainly Bulgarians; in their oral literature, rituals, and beliefs, juxtaposed with selected Apocrypha, primarily from the Protoevangelium of James, confronted with the Scripture. The analysed texts (legends, folk tales, ritual songs performed during Christmas) relate to the birth of Christ in Bethlehem and placing him in a manger – the events of Night of Bethlehem and the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt. The excerpted texts of fairy tales and legends marginalise the theme of the Divine Birth, focusing on the figure of the Mother of God and her actions: meeting with St. Tryphon, rejecting the child, receiving lessons on motherhood from the frog, escaping with the Child to Egypt. The birth of Jesus is used as an excuse to tell a story of an etiological character (theme cursing animal or plant), often based on ritual custom and referring to it, such as clipping vines. Just as in the case of fairy tales and legends, folk song uses the birth of Jesus to explain the genesis of some of the characteristics and phenomena of nature. Presentation of animals in ritual songs occasionally refers to the economic sphere (the shepherds slept, and their flock wandered away), while wild animals are the object of punishment or reward. The Apocrypha known among the South Slavs mention animals in situations encountered also in the Bulgarian oral literature – the cosmic silence when fauna and flora freezes in anticipation of the birth of the Young God. The quoted texts of the Bulgarian oral culture referring to the theme of the Nativity of the Lord, the Gospel inspiration or even interaction with the apocryphal text fades into the background. The content of the stories and folk songs seems to be primordial in relation to the processed content of the Gospel; biblical characters and situations are introduced to oral stories already in circulation, creating texts that are testament of the so-called folk Christianity.

The article contributes to the review of small, peripheral, forgotten European sanctuaries. The subject of the presentation is the Sanctuary of Divino Amore in the Italian Castel di Leva located on the outskirts of Rome. Authors present its etiological legend, the source of the folk pilgrimage movement, the complex history and contemporary existence of this place, combining in their narrative the perspectives of a historian, ethnographer, theologian and a keen observer of acts of religiousness. In many church and pilgrim stories about the sanctuary the authors recognize in anthropological commentary topoi well known from the history of holy places, as well as new ones.

Artykuł stanowi kontynuację rekonesansu po małych, peryferyjnych, zapomnianych sanktuariach europejskich. Przedmiotem prezentacji jest sanktuarium Divino Amore we włoskim Castel di Leva położonym na obrzeżach Rzymu. Autorzy przedstawiają jego legendę etiologiczną, źródło ludowego ruchu pielgrzymkowego, złożone dzieje oraz współczesną egzystencję tego miejsca, łącząc w swojej narracji perspektywę historyka, etnografa, teologa i wnikliwego obserwatora aktów religijności. W kościelnych i pielgrzymich opowieściach o sanktuarium autorzy w krótkim antropologicznym komentarzu rozpoznają zarówno toposy dobrze znane z historii miejsc świętych, jak i elementy nietypowe.
