Przepowiadanie w okresie Adwentu i Bożego Narodzenia związane z różnymi formami pobożności ludowej tych okresów

Abstract

The article consists of two basie parts. The first one shows the basic forms of popular piety in the periods of Advent and Christmas, and in the second one the main issues are discussed that should be touched upon in preaching in these liturgical periods, on the basis of various forms of popular piety. As an introduction into these issues we remind of the central position occupied by liturgy in the life of the Church and of every Christian, but at the same time we state that liturgy does not exhaust the Church’s whole activity and the congregation’s spiritual life, which is the cause why also popular services are recommended. However, these services may not be contrary to liturgy, but they should lead to it.
