The article seeks to reflect upon the manner of perceiving reality (the so-called reversed perspective) associated with the Byzantine tradition of icon painting which was in evidence in the Ruthenian and Russian cultural circle from the 12th to the first half of the 17th century.

The liturgical calendar used in the Orthodox Church in Romania dates back to the remote times of antiquity. The structure of the calendar was decisively formed in the period of Byzantium and its use was upheld by the tradition until the 20th century. The article describes the organization of the Orthodox calendar in Romania. It is divided into three cycles which designate the most significant holidays as well as customs and habits observed by the believers. The basic course is the daily cycle, which allows monks to live according to a specific rhythm determined by prayer, work and rest. It consists of seven prayers that fall at the same times of day and night. The weekly cycle includes seven days of the week starting with Sunday that is the first and at the same time the last day of the week on a symbolic level. Orthodox religion associates particular days of the week with remembering the mystery of faith, a saint or a group of saints. The liturgical week is an icon in the middle of which the Orthodox place Jesus Christ, thus it is often called a Weekly Passover. It symbolically invokes the history of salvation. The annual cycle is divided into the moveable and immoveable feasts (derived from Easter). The Orthodox Church appoints them according to the spiritual, not historical order. The spiritual order displays God’s plan to save humanity. This routine makes a full circle every year, with the same holidays placed along the course. A deliberate plan to destroy spiritual culture by communist authorities led to partial disappearance of Orthodox traditional customs or transformed them into a folk spectacle. The Communism has fallen and we can witness the resurrection of the Orthodox culture. There is a great return to the liturgical texts as well as to belles lettres created in the Byzantine time. Beside them, the old beliefs, habits and rituals molded in the Byzantine Christianity are slowly brought back to life.

Despite focusing many scholar texts on the Great-Moravian mission in 863 the question of its spiritual background still remain rather without the sphere of scientist concern. The aim of this paper is to show if, and in what, was the spirituality of Cyril and Methodius innovative in compare with its Byzantine pattern—in concrete on example of anthropology, the individual, like as the political one. First it will sketched an outline of the spiritual context in witch this mission was accomplished. The second step is an analysis of some texts, being unquestionably native to this mission. By the end I will try to specify to which measure was this mission innovative on the field of spirituality.

Chociaż misji Braci Sołuńskich na Wielkie Morawy w 863 r. zostało poświęconych wiele tekstów naukowych, to jednak kwestie dotyczące jej duchowości pozostają raczej poza obszarem zainteresowań badaczy. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest pokazanie, czy i w czym duchowość cyrylo-metodiańska jest innowacyjna wobec swego wzorca bizantyjskiego – konkretnie na przykładzie antropologii tak jednostkowej, tak też w jej wymiarze politycznym. Naszkicowany został zarys kontekstu duchowościowego, w ramach którego realizowana była misja wielkomorawska. Później zanalizowano konkretne teksty, których rodowód w związku z misją wielkomorawską jest bezsporny. Na koniec zaś starano się uściślić miarę innowacyjności tejże misji w stosunku do jej wzorca realizowanego w Bizancjum.
