Keywords: recurring folkloric representations of God; subjectivisation of the relationship with the sacred
Summary/Abstract: This paper compares and contrasts recurring folkloric representations of the sacred as recorded in written form (cf. Czech National Folk Songs and Proverbs com-piled by K.J. Erben) with the literary interpretations of the images of God, the Mother of God, and Christ in Erben’s cycle of ballads entitled A Bouquet of Folk Legends. The focus is on man’s addresses to the anthropomorphic images of the sacred and the quest for a dialogue with them. In this process, the role of inherited family kinship is perceived as important, and the layering of human psyche is revealed in light of the integration that creates inner moral imperatives.
