The time of fiesta is one of the most important events in life of Andean communities (comunidades). Besides its religious function, fiesta is a moment that renews social bonds based on kinship and reciprocity. These bonds have been tying the present day members of the comunidad andina since the pre-Columbian times. The fiesta andina, with all its aspects (the feast in honor of the saints, the liturgical ceremony, and the celebration of the work) can be seen as a kind of a bridge between the sacred and the profane. Th is article is based on the results of field research conducted in 2012/2013 in the area of the Peruvian provinces of Canta and Huarochiri.

C. S. Lewis once stated that the decline of classical learning was a contributory cause of atheism. This article explores why he made this very unusual statement, describing how Lewis saw the Classics as a literature full of gods and goddesses, providing hints of truth, giving us things to write about, and preparing for the Christian faith. Using some remarkable quotations from Virgil and Plato, Lewis demonstrated how those writers anticipated both the birth and the death of Christ. Lewis’s concept of myth, powerfully present in the Classics, shows how the Gospel story itself is a “true myth,” one with a pattern that is similar to many of the pagan myths. The personal story of Lewis himself demonstrates how the Classics, and, more broadly, the liberal arts were a testimony to the truth of God and how the Greek plays of Euripides, the philosophy of Samuel Alexander, the imagination of writer William Morris, the poetry of George Herbert, and the historical sensibility of G. K. Chesterton combined (with many other similar influences) to convince Lewis that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ were especially a “true myth,” one that happened in history, demonstrating him to be the Son of God.

The article presents the pursuit of the fullness of life in God by the saint patrons of the Archdiocese of Poznan, namely the saint bishop and martyr Stanislaw of Szczepanow, the blessed bishop and hermit Bogumil and the saint sister Urszula Ledochowska. The presentation is done according to the scheme: determinants of spiritual life - the most important elements and manifestations of sanctity. The inferences and assertions resulting from the conducted analyses are included in the conclusion. The study is preceded by a recapitulation of the basic truths regarding Christian spir- itual life and the role of saints in the lives of Christians. Studies have shown, among other things, that each of the patrons came into the world in a family with a deep faith and received a vocation to dedicate their life to God. In saint Stanislaus and saint Urszula you can see great organizational talents, a very friendly and gentle reference to others, concern for those in need of help and support, and the greatness of their dedication to others. In blessed Bogumil, the most noticeable feature is his love for hidden life and the practice of severe penance. All three share a commitment to evan- gelization. Each of them reveals a passion for prayer, a concern for being in deep communion with Christ, living with Christ and for Him the experience of suffering and awareness of responsibility for the salvation of others, as well as distance to material goods.

The aim of this article is to present the status of the authorities of the Catholic Church, bodies of self-government units as well as third parties in the procedure of appointing a patron saint of a local community. Special consideration is given to the status of local government units in light of the principle of impartiality of public authorities (art. 25 para. 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland). The paper also discusses the problem of evaluating the proposals submitted by church authorities and local residents. The author pays attention to the relations between civil and ecclesiastical authority at various stages of the procedure in question, taking into account the principles governing the institutional relations between the state and churches and other religious organisations in Poland.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest przedstawienie statusu władz Kościoła Katolickiego, organów jednostek samorządu terytorialnego, a także podmiotów zewnętrznych w procedurze ustanowienia patrona wspólnoty samorządowej. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na status organów jednostek samorządu terytorialnego w świetle zasady bezstronności światopoglądowej władz publicznych (art. 25 ust. 2 Konstytucji RP). Rozważania dotyczą także problematyki opiniowania przedmiotowych wniosków przez mieszkańców i władzę kościelną. Autor zwraca uwagę na relacje zachodzące między władzą świecką i kościelną w poszczególnych etapach postępowania w tej sprawie z punktu widzenia zasad relacji instytucjonalnych między państwem a Kościołami i innymi związkami wyznaniowymi w Polsce.
