The article is devoted to medieval and Early Modern animated sculpturesfrom the current and former territories of Poland. Sculptures of this kind, withthe construction of various degrees of complexity, quipped sometimes withmechanisms enabling movement of chosen body parts, e.g. the head, hands or legs,were used at theatralised liturgical and paraliturgical ceremonies, mostly during Holy Week. Such ceremonies have a rich tradition, which is clearly testified notonly by numerous surviving written accounts of specific ceremonies but also by seldom talked about and mostly unknown to theatre historians sculpted pieces thatare the subject of this article. The article contains a detailed presentation of surviving and known from historical accounts figures of the Christ on a donkey, fixed to platforms onwheels and used on Palm Sunday; animated statues of the Crucified Christ, fitted with mechanisms that made it possible to take the figure off the cross on Good Friday; and statues of the Resurrected Christ that were used during ceremonies commemorating the Ascension of Christ. Other works of similar character used inother periods of liturgical year, though fewer, have also been mentioned.

A human life is immersed in the world of signs. They are means of interpersonal communication. The signs are also present in the liturgy. One of them is water. This element of the universe created by God, Jesus Christ made an effective sign of His grace. The power of the Holy Spirit accompanies the washing with the baptismal water. Its sanctifying power makes a neophyte a new creature, a child of God. Water as a liturgical sign appears in the liturgy of Paschal Vigil, where it is explained through liturgical texts. The contents marked with this sign actualize in the Baptism ceremony.
