Hagiology Research Papers - Academia.edu (original) (raw)

This paper is an seminar invitation.
The theological environment of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, in cooperation with specialists from other fields and disciplines, has been involved in research on saints for many years. In this way a group of hagiology researchers – hagiologists with various specialties was created. Hagiologists study the profiles and spirituality of saint men and women, living in different periods, nations and representing different status. Research is conducted interdisciplinary, taking into account a wide range of sources in which there are traces of worship and remembrance of saints. Maintaining the research string, two hagiological seminars are planned on November 4-5, 2020. One is dedicated to Saint Anna – will be on November 4, 2020, the second to Saint Popes from Gregory the Great till John Paul II – will be on November 5, 2020 (see: http://www.uwm.edu.pl/ztdif/index.php/seminaria-hagiologiczne/).
We invite you to reflect on issues related to Saint Anna:
 Saint Anne's place in historical, theological, literary, artistic, musical sources, etc.
 Christian ethos of a woman - mother - grandmother, symbolized by the profile of Saint Anna
 place of saints in Christian education, with an emphasis on St. Anna
 the importance of the patron of saint, with an emphasis on St. Anna
 tradition as an area for creating profiles of the saint human, with an emphasis on St. Anna
 sanctity in human imagination, including topics related to St. Anna
We invite historians, art historians, theologians, literary researchers, musicologists, culture researchers, religious researchers, media researchers, and ecumenists. We are also inviting philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, educators and all those who in the area of their research sources find elements concerning various aspects of holiness.
