In the following article I offer an analysis of the famous Panagia Ierosolymitissa icon, preserved and venerated in the Shrine of the Tomb of the Virgin in Gethsemane. Two independent Jerusalem traditions pertaining to the icon’s appearance include details that allow a plausible reconstruction of its history. I seek to demonstrate the degree to which the image imports Russian visual models and prototypes from previous centuries, and at the same time the extent to which it reflects the local Jerusalem tradition of Theotokos icon painting.

Until recently the Gospel manuscript from the Russian National Library in St Petersburg, MS Q.п.І.3, now dated to the mid-14th century, was almost not known. It was found that its teratological headpiece on f. 85r is similar to a headpiece in the Four Gospels NBKM 1356 of about the same period. The compositions, though stemming from a common prototype, differ in their details. Being found in manuscripts of obviously different origin, they bring forth a number of issues such as the attribution of the two South Slavonic Tetraevangelia, their interdependence and relations with manuscripts and centres where the model patterns were used and copied in three 17th-century illuminated Gospels.

The paper discusses certain particularities of the ornaments of the late fourteenth-century Romil’s Tetraevangelion (Patriarchate of Peć, MS 4), with various motifs yet forming a coherent style. The decoration of Romil’s manuscript is representative of a distinct type of braided floral illumination found in Serbian manuscripts of the late fourteenth century, where motifs already known in the South Slavic and Byzantine ornamental tradition have received original compositional and stylistic forms. Using the comparative method, the author analyses some of these decorative compositions in the wider historical context of manuscript heritage. The focus is on circular finishing ornaments, which are a rare occurrence in manuscripts.

There are a variety of factors resulting in bad damages to texts in handwritten books and documents. Restorers’ intervention in such cases seeks to preserve the information, contained in the texts. It would often entail complex technological solutions intended to keep the integrity of the document, the writing material, the inks, and the book’s construction. Restoration is meant to recover the physical consolidation of the object without shocking changes in its appearance or lessening of its art qualities and genuineness. The article presents in detail the restoration methods applied on several objects with similar problems, i.e. damaged texts: manuscripts and documents on parchment, wooden boards of book covers. Much attention is given to the problems with “extinct” texts, damaged by corrosed iron-gall inks. Also, the use in such cases of the newest technologies is commented with the view of their possible implementation in Bulgaria.

One of the most important figures in Christian religion, Virgin Mary’s death and assumption of heaven were explained in two basic sources “Golden Legend” and “Transitus Mariae”. Golden Leged was written in the third quarter of 13th century by Jacobus da Voragine. Transitus Mariae dated to 6th century, is another important sources for Virgin Mary. The dogma that Virgin Mary assumption to heaven after the death, accepted by Pope XII. Pius in 1950 and the church began to celebrate every year on August 15th as a feast. Within the scope of the study, death and assumption of Virgin Mary was evaluated within the light of acopryphal sources by pictures of Early Renaissance period in terms of iconographical perspective.

The work analyzes one of the problems from the poem “The Torture of Queen Ketevan”, which takes the special place in the original work of King-Poet Teimuraz I. His artistic heritage includes not only the original works, but also translated and adapted ones from Persian literature which includes not only the secular, but spiritual ones as well. Each problem is fed from Christian and Biblical prospective, it is understood from the spiritual prospective. It connects secular and spiritual issues very closely and clearly demonstrates that every creature is one whole and inseparable part of the world. The poem “The Torture of Queen Ketevan” is the work of secular genre, it belongs to the Part I of the century XVII, but it is written according to the Hagiography and it has theoretical purpose, and the title “”Torture” indicates it, which reflects the spiritual deed of a Queen, her martyr way of life mirroring her mission full of national pain, protection of native land and belief, which she burdened bravely on herself as a heavy cross, like Jesus Christ and executed it.

The views of Pope Francis and the Nicaraguan poet Ernesto Cardenal converge in many aspects when interpreting the theology of the community. Cardenal, the representative of the Liberation Theology, and Pope Francis, who heads toward the mentioned theology, are the two personalities of the Latin American thought. Cardenal, the author of Cántico cósmico, and the current Pope, the author of the encyclicals on the topic of the Church as a community, can find some common points. This study will continue with the characteristics of the canticle and encyclical as the two genres and means of description of the ecclesiastical reality. Furthermore, the study will focus on the deepening of the vision of the Church as a community of the poor and needy. The attitudes of Francis and Cardenal are similar, but the orthodoxy of the Sovereign Pontiff requires even more than the rebellious poet- priest from Nicaragua proposes.

This paper is aimed to determine early-postmodern features of Latin American anarchist-mystic artist Alejandro Jodorowsky’s cinema films. It can be claimed that Jodorowsky, a multifaceted artist as a filmmaker, playwright, poet and graphic novelist, has not attracted academic attention despite the fact that his films reached to cult status. Thusly, scholarly studies on the cinema of Jodorowsky amount to only a few both in Turkish and Anglo-Saxon Western literature. In this respect, this paper undertakes to be a source in Turkish literature on Alejandro Jodorowsky, an extraordinary transnational auteur, who sees his art as an expression of his philosophical worldview and aims to cure the audience through images full of grotesque and violence.

For places such as Athos Mountain, Jerusalem-i Sharif and Mount Sinai (Egypt) where the monastery communities were concentrated in the Ottoman Empire, Wallachia and Bogdan (Moldovia) had a special importance. Because the monasteries in question had foundations in these lands. These monasteries, many of which were dedicated to the important names of the history of Christianity, reap the revenues of these lands allocated for them, with the help of special officers whom they were assigned to. In the period when the administration of Eflak and Bogdan was given to Fenerlian Greeks, the land devoted to dedicated churches and monasteries was enlarged to almost 11% of all the land of Wallachia and Bogdan. However, this situation began to change with the influence of the political conditions of the 19th century. In this sense, Alexandru Ioan Cuza's being a Wallachian-Bogdan Prince can be regarded as a turning point. As a matter of fact, the policy of expropriation by the Prince Cuza, supported by France, caused a great debate between the administration of Wallachia and Bogdan and the Orthodox temples under the patronage of the Greek Patriarchate. In this study, The Problem of Dedicated Monasteries which has not been evaluated in terms of Ottoman dimension and archival documents will be dealt with so that the sensitivity of the Ottoman Empire towards Christian subjects and policies related to Balkan countries will be analyzed. Nevertheless, in an age when matters related to the Holy Places can be considered as a matter of war, the Ottoman Empire, which faced a similar problem, will examine how it pursues the solution of this problem.

The possibility of challenging the validity of marriage derives mainly from the right to protection of subjective rights of the faithful. This is due to the concern over the unity of the community, maintaining legal order, as well as the need for protection of certain values that create the image of the Catholic Church among its community and third parties. It is for the freedom of choice and the right to marriage of every human being, that the possibility of challenging the validity of marriage is crucial. In the context of the rights of the faithful, the declaration of nullity of marriage protects its sacramental dimension. A marriage between baptised persons that is null does not bring God’s grace. Since the faithful do not fully realise this, it is the clergy’s responsibility to guard the validity of marriage. In some cases, remaining in a marriage that is invalid does not only harm the spiritual good of the parties, but also affects the moral condition of the whole Church community.

Cardinal Wyszynski was a defender of basic values, such as human being, family, nation and church during communistic enslavement. He defended the truth concerning their being and dignity, he reminded others of their basic rights and duties, he stood up for these rights when the state government violated them. He defended the freedom of human beings, families, nation and the Church pointing out that only through true freedom can they really develop and realise their vocation and mission. He pointed out the need for justice done out of love, towards every human being, family and nation. He spoke clearly about duties and responsibilities of the state and the Church towards every human being, families, who are the cradle of of the nation, and the nation itself, which is family of families.

The Catholic Church believes in the posthumous God’s judgment, heaven or hell. A man who is seeking God will sooner or later realize, that the question, about his existence is closely related to the question about the final destiny of man: death and what next? Leszek Kołakowski (1927−2009) repeatedly referred to the eschatological dimension of human existence, based mainly on the Christian tradition, which sees the purpose of the earthly pilgrimage of man in eternal bliss or eternal damnation. In his opinion, the man participates in the eternal struggle between God and the devil. It is not just a passive observer in it, but it is in the very centre of it, it is a victim of these struggles, although our fate also influences the course of this battle.

The article deals with issues related to the core of Christian humanism. The starting point of the deliberations is the historical heritage of humanism, which dates back to the Greek-Roman antiquity. Subsequently, the question of the influence of Christianity on the development of the new anthropology, that changes the spectrum of human cognition, is raised. Further reflection goes back to Christian humanism and is an attempt to justify the research issue included in the title of the article: “Christian humanism as the expression of an upgrade of the human person.”

The article discusses the Christian truth about man. Thomistic and personalist thought was invoked among the philosophical anthropological concepts. The considerations focus on the following issues: man as a rational being; man as a person who “becomes”; man as the image of God; man as the unity of body and spirit; man as an integral being. Any field of study cannot answer the question: What is a human being? The author emphasizes that man can find the true value of their humanity only in God, in the person of Jesus Christ.

Calling is a gift from God and a mystery, it realizes in a reality of faith, which enables human to have a conversation with God – Holy Trinity, which continuously – Creates, Rescues – and Sanctifies – which, with a new dynamism, allows to realize an evangelic message, which, as sine qua non condition, is an integral part of every calling. Marriage – a family, is a “God’s atom”, whose energy – sacramental grace – is a reality capable of constant renewing of the face of this basic, even fundamental human community, which is family, society – to finally change the face of earth.

This article deals with two concepts of the genesis of religion. The first came from evolutionary anthropology, the second from the theology of religion. The relations of these concepts are presented in the context of the relationship between science and faith, especially – the reception of the theory of evolution by Catholicism. One example is the work of Robin Dunbar, in which he closely links the rise of religion to the process of anthropogenesis, and on the other, the revelatory concept of the genesis of religion, emphasizing the revelation by creatures and creatures.
