KORZO RAS Institute of Philosophy, Russia ORCID ID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6299-5187 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The objective of the paper is to showcase the relationships between literature and non-literary events on the example of the figure of Josaphat Kuntsevych (1580–1623) – the first martyr of the Uniate Church in the Commonwealth of Both Nations – and the miracle attributed to him. The hagiographical works mention the miraculous conversion of Moscow’s patriarch – Nikon (1605–1681) – to Catholicism, which reportedly happened in Moscow due to a painting depicting Kuntsevych. As a result of this event, Nikon resigned from his office. The description of the miracle, written around 1672 evolved with time, complemented with more and more circumstances surrounding the unusual event, stemming out of rumours and myths, but also reflecting a certain historical reality. The paper analyses the latest version of this story (S.P. Ważyński, Kazanie na uroczystość Bł. Jozafata Kuncewicza, Vilnius, 1762), setting out the stages of shaping its individual parts (narrative construction of reality), as well as confronting historical reality with imaginary reality described in the miraculous event. * The volume is funded from the budget of the Institute of Polish Studies of Maria Cu- rie-Skłodowska University, from the funds of the Minister of Science and Higher Education for activi- ties promoting science (contract no.

  • The Services for Josafat Kuntsevych, Afanasiy Filippovych, and Andrzej Bobola
    Contemporary Ecumenical Challenges of Historically Charged Liturgical Cult: The Services for Josafat Kuntsevych, Afanasiy Filippovych, and Andrzej Bobola Maria Takala-Roszczenko* The seventeenth century was a period of political and religious turmoil in the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania. The confessional conflicts produced martyrs whose cults consolidated the confessional boundaries of the Roman Catholic, the Orthodox, and the Greek Catholic Church. In my article, I compare three such saints: Josafat Kuntsevych (1580-1623, Greek Catholic), Afanasiy Filippovych (c. 1595–1648, Orthodox), and Andrzej Bobola (1591-1657, Roman Catholic), who were martyred in the hands of their Christian neighbours. For material, I use the hymnographical services composed for the saints. I argue that, in quest of genuine ecumenism, certain content in these services, such as exclusive concepts of the true faith and church unity, may actually induce rather than prevent hostility between the Churches. Keywords: hymnography, liturgy, Orthodox, Greek Catholic, Roman Catholic, confessionalization, ecumenism, saint, cult, martyr Introduction The seventeenth century was a period of great political, social, and confession- al turmoil in the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania, a multi-ethnic state that covered large areas of Central Eastern Europe. The religious plural- ism of the Polish-Lithuanian society was, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, giving way to the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Church, which was being restored after the Protestant

  • Transnational and Trans-Denominational Aspects of the Veneration of Josaphat Kuntsevych
    Transnational and Trans-Denominational Aspects of the Veneration of Josaphat Kuntsevych Kerstin S. Jobst The veneration of saints is a widespread phenomenon. However, study of the trans- national and trans-denominational aspects of such veneration is still in its preli- minary stage, and not only in Eastern Europe. One of the most famous examples is the veneration of Elizabeth of Thuringia: Roman Catholics have celebrated her throughout the world, especially in Germany and Hungary, and Protestants have also revered her as a symbol of active charity.1 Another example is that of the early Czech bishop and martyr Adalbert of Prague, the patron saint of Bohemia, Poland, Hungary, and Prussia. Even in Eastern Europe, where religious and denominational variety has had a far longer tradition than, for example, in the territories that once constituted the Holy Roman Empire, the trans-religious veneration of Christian saints was not unknown.2 Very recently, however, historians have begun paying much more attention to the revival of national patron saints in Eastern and East- Central Europe and their role in shaping collective identities.3 To get a deeper in- sight into the politics of religion and religious practices there, one has also to enquire into the trans-denominational, trans-ethnic, trans-territorial, and trans- epochal aspects of the veneration of saints. The veneration of Josaphat (Yosafat) Kuntsevych (1580–1623), the Uniate archbishop of Polatsk, Vitsebsk, and Mstsi- slaŭ in Belarus, is an excellent example for studying these patterns of communi- 1 See Stefan Gerber, “Die Heiligen der Katholiken und Protestanten: Die heilige Elisabeth in konfessioneller Wahrnehmung während des ‘langen’ 19.

  • 016-San Giosafat Al Gianicolo.Pages
    (16//05) San Giosafat al Gianicolo San Giosafat al Gianicolo is a 20th century Oriental Catholic and Ukrainian national church in Trastevere, on the Janiculum hill north of the Garibaldi monument. It is on the second of the hair-pin bends going north, and is a familar landmark there. The dedication is to St Josaphat Kuntsevych. The church is one of the three national churches of the Ukraine in Rome, and belongs to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. History The church was built for the Pontifical Ukrainian College, the history of which is tied up with the long- established Ukrainian Catholic church and monastery of Santi Sergio e Bacco. In 1896, Pope Leo XIII implemented his scheme for a new Ukrainian-rite seminary, which was called the "Ruthenian Pontifical College" when it was founded and which was given charge of the monastery of Santi Sergio e Bacco. However, the convent was too small for the purpose and a scheme for building a new college and church was put in place after the First World War. Construction began in 1929 and was finished in 1932, the architect being Giuseppe Momo. The seminary has operated here ever since, and was the major one for the church between 1939 and 1991 when the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church was proscribed by law in the Soviet Union. It has also become the main Ukrainian monastery in Rome, the old premises at Sant Sergio e Bacco being used as a pilgrim hospice. The monks belong to the Basilian Order of St Josaphat. Exterior A rather plain building in pink brick, the church has two storeys and an unusual dome.

O great martyr Josaphat, now also pray that He may grant unity and peace to our Churches and great mercy to our souls. O all-precious orator, you first offered yourself as an unbloody sacrifice to God. Like the unblemished fruit, your holy work was an acceptable sacrifice. Then you brought yourself to Christ, by means of your blood, as a true and great martyr. Now also pray that He may grant unity and peace to our Churches and great mercy to our souls.

By the end of the 19th century, the Lutheran Germans wanted to build a representative Lutheran church in Volodymyr-Volynskyi. Rich landowners made 100 roubles monthly donations for the building; the poorer ones donated ten roubles. The church was finally built in 1890. The Lutheran parish was founded in 1891. It consisted of 32 German settlements with more than 12 thousand members in the Volodymyr-Volynskyi region. The first priest lived in the village Antonivka- Makovychi, where a Pastorate was planned to be built. The center of the parish was moved to Volodymyr-Volynskyi in 1893. A nice house with a beautiful extension for the priest was built next to the church; it still exists today. The priest, who held the church services, lived there. The Lutherans from all the region came to this church to pray. In 1939 World War II started and all Germans moved to Germany - many of them had to be forced. The church stayed unused. During the years of the Nazi-German occupation, the church was closed and in 1944 it was used as the chemical weapon storage.
