This article focuses on the semantic and pragmatic aspect of specific Greek verb εὐφραίνω in the Gospel of Luke. The verb dominates in Luke especially in the parabolic motif of the feast (12:19; 15: 23, 24, 29, 32; 16:19), in which it acquires some characteristic features that were often overlooked in previous Slovak translations. The aim of this article is to suggest a more accurate and contextoriented translation of the verb in the new Slovak translation of Luke.

Today the traditional beliefs, customs and rites relating to the harvest time are very limited as their contemporary functions and dimension have changed. The authoress is interested in the transformation process of a harvest festival that is typical of the old rural communities. The harvest festival still crowns the labours of farming and is a form of solemn thanksgiving for harvested crops but today's celebration is not accompanied with any magical practices that would bring a good harvest next year. Ritual songs are becoming obsolete and the harvesting women, if any, no longer need any orations addressed to a landlord. The customs of baking bread and making crown-shaped wreaths have survived. The contemporary farmers associate the entire celebration with the church ceremony. Harvest festivals are organized at the local, regional and country level (the presidential Spała Harvest Festival) as well as at the religious one (diocesan harvest festivals). It is a carefully prepared show, a national holiday that attracts not only the inhabitants of the village and the people professionally involved in agriculture, but also residents of the city. Nowadays, this unique show has a number of functions. These functions are mostly highlighted in the contemporary media.

Free time is one of the significant phenomenon of contemporary life. People‘s attitude towards time and leisure is influenced by the Judeo-Christian tradition as well as by contemporary consumer trends. The author builds on the teachings of J. Pieper and R. Bleinstein and seeks to establish the place of leisure in theology. From philosophical reflections about understanding time he moves to topics of social ethics which are linked with the modern concept of leisure. Leisure consequently appears as an area for the realisation of interpersonal relationships as well as for searching for God, as it corresponds with the biblical idea of the Sabbath. At the end of the article the author reflects on pastoral care in the context of a “leisure society”.
