Abstract

The experience of the pandemic has affected practically all spheres of social life, including the religious sphere. In the Christian religion it has become a part of special time, namely in experiencing the most important holiday, which is Easter, preceded by the Holy Week. At the same time, the lights of hope were born from the night of that experience. Among them, a new way of living the Christian faith, made possible by means of social communicators, quickly became apparent. These reflections will be a presentation of one of these ideas, which grew out of the very centre of the epidemic experience, and which has become a kind of guidebook and guideline for the spiritual experience of the Holy Week and Easter Sunday. The author of this article is the author of that guidebook. The guidebook was called The Home Ritual for the Holy Week during the epidemic. The article has a similar title. However, it is not an ordinary copy of the guide, but is set on theological reflection. Both The Home Ritual... itself and theological reflection are created  from the perspective of the teaching of the Catholic Church and at the same time take into account Polish customs concerning Easter and the period directly preceding it.
