Kult poutních míst slezsko-polského pohraničí v českých kramářských písních 18. a 19. století // The cult of the pilgrimage sites of the Silesian-Polish borders and in the Czech broadsheet songs of 18th and 19th centuries

Abstract

The study focuses on the reflection of the cult of pilgrimage sites located in the territory of today’s Poland in pilgrim songs of Czech provenance from the 18th–19th century. Its focus of attention is on the songs to Częstochowa, which was a sought-after destination for pilgrims from Moravia and Silesia, and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, which is very popular in Teschen Silesia. It also deals with the regional Frýdek-based printing house of František Orel, who published prints for sale at the Polish pilgrimage sites at the end of the 19th and early 20th century
