Summary/Abstract: The Greek concept of leitourgia signifies public service. It is impossible to describe present-day activity in Lucim as liturgy in the contemporary sense of the word. Nonetheless, its original (correct) meaning contains that unusual sort of public service, which we have been performing in Lucim for years and which we described successively as: social art, pro-social stand, new folk art, and third way. Although this is down-to-earth activity (which should be additionally described as: down-to-water, down-to-fire, and down-to-air, as well as: domestic and roadside), it soars and strives towards finding itself, if only for a moment, “between earth and heaven”. There comes to the fore a sub-sacrum of sorts, closer, after all, to pagan sacrality deeply embedded in Nature, the local community and its territory, families and homes – the Lucim oikumene – than in the canonical sacrum of a Church institution.
