The study focuses on the issue of revitalizing values that are coming to the fore in times of crisis in society during the difficult times accompanied by the plague epidemic. The focus of the research is The Song of the Plague Infection, which was printed in Trnava in 1759 and it is about the plague epidemic in the town of Místek in Moravia in 1710. It describes the situation of death and the crisis of spiritual values. The plague is seen as God’s punishment for the sins of the people. In this borderline near-death situation, people turn to Saint Rochus, the protector against the plague, for help. At the core of the song is a description of his pious life and acts of mercy, where the song appeals for a change in people’s behaviour. The song draws attention to the changes in spiritual values, in the intent of the Baroque period that should guide man on the path of faith.
