Abstract

The two sessions will concentrate on the question, how cults of saints reflected and shaped local, regional, and national identities. This will be analyzed for different regions of Central Europe with the help of comparative approaches and case studies. The papers will also deal with the continuation and disruption of local saints' cults, with emerging national contexts and the involvement into supraregional contexts.
