Summary/Abstract: The discussion of conveying messages through religious art is confronted by several serious challenges. In analysing the concepts of postmodern harmony in the time of hyper-consumption, dynamics of social communication register the specifics of art transformation. The aim is the sacred art enunciation and the sacred art utterance to be outlined. The idea of devotion to sacred art is described with two modes of enunciation using symbolical communication and transformation. It comes thus specially to emphasise that in this process, culture and subcultures create a semiotic system in Bulgarian society for preservation of common religious memory. Finally, the external perspective of religious memory gives a new meaning to contemporary religious life and opportunities for a case study in sacred art veneration process with borderlines of religious art acceptance.
