In researching the restoration practices of cultural communities that retablos and santos hold significance to, this paper is framed by textual analysis, and interviews with heritage, ecclesiastic and conservation professionals. With ever-increasing cultural homogenisation, the importance of conservators working towards preventing cultural identities from being absorbed by universal discourses and popular cultures are argued in this paper. In reflecting upon knowledge systems and communication platforms that support conservation, the exchange of knowledge, its usability and wide audience possibilities as necessary pathways to preserving memory for living and future generations will be focused upon.

Imagery of these saints has reinforced socio-political and religious principles via the Marian themes of parental suffering, chivalry and internationalism. In conjunction with relevant critiques, the methodology of iconography shall be used for its symbolic and historical focus to explore the depictions of these saints' lives and the varieties of media used to depict them. This methodology will examine how the relationship between traditional Polish religious ideology and the themes discussed are manifest within saint iconography to shape Polish identity.
