The starting point in the article is an absence of studies which show the realizations of the military-erotic symbols in religious literature that is associated with the emblem tradition. The discussed works – prayer books by Andrzej Gabriel Kasperowicz; anonymous Atak Niebieskiej Twierdzy… [The attack of the Heavens… or The attack into Fortress of Heavens…] and Wojsko serdecznych afektów… [The army of heartfelt affections…] by Hieronim Falęcki – retain high formal and semantic discipline; as a result, they are examples of interesting phenomena of Baroque culture. In the first part of her article Iwona Słomak presents three prayer books in which the concept is based on analogy with the organization of the army of Christ. In the second part she shows the book in which the theme of war connects with the issue of „holy erotica”. In part three she discusses a print whose composition refers to the structure of the military detachments. It is conceived as a collection of „affections” whose task is „to conquer” heaven and the hearts of readers. Characteristically, the formula of the discussed books will be understandable only if we reconstruct their reference to the popular allegorical images (we find them in the collections of emblems, in many treatises on religious themes or in descriptions of the great ceremonies of that era); therefore, it is necessary to take into account the emblematic model that clearly influenced their final shape.

The study focuses on the reflection of the cult of pilgrimage sites located in the territory of today’s Poland in pilgrim songs of Czech provenance from the 18th–19th century. Its focus of attention is on the songs to Częstochowa, which was a sought-after destination for pilgrims from Moravia and Silesia, and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, which is very popular in Teschen Silesia. It also deals with the regional Frýdek-based printing house of František Orel, who published prints for sale at the Polish pilgrimage sites at the end of the 19th and early 20th century.
