Wyryte przez wieki, czytane przez antropologa – inskrypcje na ścianach kościoła pw. św. Mikołaja BW w Mierzynie

Abstract

The Church of St. Nicholas BW in Mierzyn is a religious building in which we find an important record of what we might call ‘inscribing the sacred,’ i.e., inscriptions found on its facades in the form of text and drawings, but also to the so-called ‘pit traces’(i.e., holes intentionally made in the bricks of churches). This text presents some interpretations related to this kind of cultural practice, pointing to potential motivations for their creation and possible meanings.
