  • Healing Chains, Relationships of Power and Competing Religious Imageries in the Monastery of Saints Kosmas and Damian in Kuklen (Bulgaria)
    Journal of Ethnology and Folkloristics 10 (1): 71–99 DOI: 10.1515/jef-2016-0004 HEALING CHAINS, RELATIONSHIPS OF POWER AND COMPETING RELIGIOUS IMAGERIES IN THE MONASTERY OF SAINTS KOSMAS AND DAMIAN IN KUKLEN (BULGARIA) MAGDALENA LUBANSKA Assistant Professor Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology University of Warsaw Ul. Żurawia 4, 00-503 Warsaw, Poland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article* offers an anthropological analysis of a conflict over the use of a set of ‘healing chains’ and other focal objects kept in the Orthodox Christian monastery of Saints Kosmas and Damian in Kuklen, Bulgaria. In a nutshell, the conflict cap- tures the leading religious imageries propagated by the custodians of the mon- astery on the one hand, and the spiritual leaders of a new religious movement, so-called Deunovians, on the other. The analysis helps situate some of the sig- nificant changes currently affecting the religious culture of Orthodox Christians in Bulgaria within a broader social and cultural context. KEYWORDS: healing chain • Orthodox Christians • Deunovians • religious image- ries • Bulgaria • ekstrasensi INTRODUCTION They have a chain there, you may have seen it, in the big church. People place the chain against an ailing body part, the head, a leg, a body part that’s in pain, and sleep next to the chain, they have faith and conviction that the problem will go away.1 (Parking attendant, Plovdiv, June 25, 2014) On a warm summer day on June 30, 2013 pilgrims are filing through a narrow door leading from the narthex into the monastery church of SS Kosmas and Damian, in Kuk- len.2 They buy candles at a stand, and leave prayer requests for their loved ones, living and dead.
