The celebrations followed the previous year’s closure of the Holy Year of Redemption during which Pope John Paul II donated a large wooden cross – a religious symbol made for the Holy Year – to the young Catholics who gathered at the Vatican. The cross was sent on a “pilgrimage” to different dioceses across Europe. The Vatican gatherings themselves were proclaimed as the beginning of the “World Youth Day” – a new cyclical religious event dedicated to youth. The global dimension of this newly developing Catholic festival was clearly visible right in 1987, when the “Second WYD” was organized outside Europe: in Buenos Aires, Argentina. On a Palm Sunday, closing his trip to Uruguay and Argentina, Pope John Paul II led an open-air mass dedicated to young people who had arrived at the Argentinian capital from different countries and continents. Also, a “pilgriming cross” was brought along and since then it has been known as “The Cross of the World Youth Day” and used during each subsequent event. The WYD itself started to be organized in the summer months, every two or three years, in a different country and continent, and usually, every second WYD is hosted by a European city interchangeably with non-European locations. The current formula of the WYD developed around the mid-1990s and extended the “Day” into an intense one week-long2 religious festival whose dynamics are shaped by densely scheduled activities performed every morning in language-based groups","PeriodicalId":34967,"journal":{"name":"Etnografia polska","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68896858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, religious heritage is shaped and used by politicians and culture participants to legitimize their agendas (De Cesari 2013). These processes take place on the state – mainly Roman Catholic – level as well as lower down – not only Catholic, forming a complicated, dynamic amalgam of identities, visions of history, and religions. To discern this entanglement, it is necessary to look at the relation between heritage and religion from two perspectives. This article is therefore divided into two main parts. The first describes the ties between historical policy, the memory complex, the construction of national heritage, and Roman Catholicism in Poland. The second focuses on the connections between heritage and religion, as exemplified in the organization of the Rękawka event in Kraków – a historical reenactment of early medieval Slavic rites (see Baraniecka-Olszewska 2016). I focus on this particular ethnographic fieldwork case in order to present grassroots attempts to introduce Pagan heritage to the public sphere. Heritage and religion are visibly intertwined in social practice. Many places of religious cult have the status of heritage sites, while many rituals are regarded as the cultural heritage of particular groups. Scholars have recently analyzed the relations between the two phenomena from different perspectives, such as creating identity through the heritagization of local cults (Isnart 2008), transforming religious buildings into heritage (Coleman, Bowman 2018), or conflicts arising from the process of the heritagization of religious spaces (Di Giovine 2015). Such approaches investigate particular cases with regard to their changes in situ, offering insights into specific instances","PeriodicalId":34967,"journal":{"name":"Etnografia polska","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68896836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a world of fluid modernity (Bauman 1994) the game of “heritage” allows the participants to drop anchor, look behind, and create an impression of control over the passage of time. The imprecision of the idea is simultaneously its strength and its weakness, as is shown on the one hand by the great interest being displayed in selected elements of cultural heritage, and on the other, by the unending disputes and controversies over what should be the object of heritization, who is entitled to control it and on what principles. Gregory J. Ashworth and John E. Tunbridge’s lapidary definition, which is readily used in Cultural Studies, only outwardly facilitates a precise demarcation of the concept. From the sentence “Heritage is the contemporary usage of the past and is consciously shaped from history, its survivals and memories, in response to current needs for it” (1999, p. 105) we do not learn anything about the objects of those activities. We do not know who exactly is occupied with “processing” the past, who defines the needs, and finally whose memories are subject to manipulation. It would seem that the source of the above misunderstandings lie in the very term “heritage” itself, on account of its ambiguity and of being firmly rooted in common knowledge. In the case of the Polish language, the word was at first a legal term meaning an inheritance (dziedzictwo) from forebears (dziad) (Brückner 1921). At present, its semantic field encompasses a range of other signifiers, which function in the natural language as its synonyms, expanding the sphere of connotation. The collection of such synonyms also contains expressions such as legacy, tradition, and monument, and even, in the broad sense of the term, culture. Heritage is understood by those using the term subjectively to mean specific material and symbolic cultural resources, existing per se, which the community has inherited from preceding generations and with which it has an emotional relationship.","PeriodicalId":34967,"journal":{"name":"Etnografia polska","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68896800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
