Summary/Abstract: The Mariavite Church is the only ethnically Polish faith which stemmed from the structures of Catholicism. The article consists of 51 Mariavite temples’ names located on the Polish and French territory (two temples). The research material has been drawn from the official websites of the faith and the historical literature. The history and doctrine have been presented in the article, so has been the current state of research on temples’ invocations. The analysis of Mariavite temples’ naming has been undertaken in three aspects. Firstly, the semanto-theological analysis; secondly, the analysis of formal structure of the faith; thirdly, the structural analysis of patronal fests. The study is completed by the dictionary of all Mariavite patrons in the alphabetical order, together with the information about the presented temples.
