L’analyse d’une culture se fait aussi à partir de l’analyse de la religiosité. Nous traiterons donc ici des fêtes de la Semaine Sainte dans deux villes du monde lusophone : São João del Rei et Braga, en nous appuyant à la fois sur l’histoire et sur l’anthropologie. La teneur culturelle de ces fêtes a représenté une véritable motivation qui nous a poussés à chercher à en comprendre la dimension contemporaine mais aussi à retracer leur parcours historique en tant que manifestations culturelles. Nous présenterons ces fêtes catholiques dès leur implantation dans ces deux sociétés influencées par la culture baroque qui s’est développée au XVIIIème siècle, jusqu’à leur réalisation de nos jours. La Semaine Sainte a été pensée comme un espace de sociabilité, de représentation sociale et d’affirmation d’une identité de ces deux villes. La fête sera traitée ici comme un texte rempli de significations. Notre analyse est principalement axée sur la recherche de la signification de la persistance d’éléments culturels dans ces moments festifs qui concentrent relations et processus social dans la société contemporaine. Nous tenterons de constater avec le maximum d’objectivité, les ruptures qui se sont opérées dans la pratique des ces fêtes et de définir les nouvelles significations de ces solennités en tant que documents qui ont traversé les temps sous forme d’une pratique sociale fortement enracinée. / This research is about the Holy Week’s religious celebrations wich have been practiced in São João del-Rei (Brazil) and Braga (Portugal), two Lusophone world’s cities, relying on both Anthropology and History. We intend to present the catholic celebration in these two societies which are influenced by the baroque culture from XVIII century till nowadays. In our research the Holy Week is comprehend as a social representation space as well as an identity assertion of these two societies. Our analysis focuses primarily on searching the cultural elements persistence in these celebrations that condense the social processes in contemporary society. We have tried to observe, in an objectivity way, the ruptures and the ceremonies constructions that have occurred in these celebrations practices and which are supposed to define new ceremonies meanings as a proof beyond the time seen as a deeply rooted social practice.

Missa chrismatis and Its Changes in the Twentieth Century: A Comparison of Changes in Liturgy and Theology. Missa Chrismatis (Chrism Mass) is a Mass that the bishop celebrates in the Holy Week, together with his priests, which is a sign of mutual unity. During this Mass, the priests renew their priestly vows and the bishop consecrates the oil of catechumens, the oil of the sick and the chrism oil. The ceremony underwent several changes over the past century. These are reflected also in the theology, expressed in the liturgy by emphasizing of certain elements. The major reforms of the liturgy of the Mass took place in several stages in the 50`s, 60`s and 70`s of the 20th century. First, the thesis follows the basics and reasons for the use of oils in the liturgy of the Catholic Church in the context of Easter and then the historical development of the Mass, in which the oils are consecrated. Also it clearly compares the progress of the Missa chrismatis liturgy and captures differences in the liturgical texts and texts of the rite of benediction of oils in the various phases of the reform of the twentieth century. On this basis, it attempts to render the evolution in theological content. Keywords Missa Chrismatis, Benediction of Holy Oils, Chrism, The Holy Week, Maundy Thursday, Liturgical Reform.

In times of social distancing and restrictions, ecclesiological challenges arise for the church as a room that under normal circumstances gather people for services. When the church cannot be used the way it is intended to, it raises questions about the functions of the room. The new corona virus pandemic is a crisis that challenges our perception of the church buildings’ functions and aspects. This thesis is a case study that took place in the Cathedral of Stockholm, also called Storkyrkan, during Holy week and Easter. The purpose of this thesis is to study what ecclesiological implications this new reality has on how co-workers and visitors make use of the room. Through observation of the room and interviews of visitors and co-workers I identify five aspects of Storkyrkan that characterize what functions a church building can have during a crisis. The study finds that through the circumstantial changes of the usage of the room, the materiality of it is amplified. It also shows that many types of people visit and use the room in various ways. They are all connected as a collective in a network through the words, artifacts, music, and practises that are a part of this space. Instead of closing due to the pandemic, Storkyrkan was an open room which generated possibilities for people to use it. In times of social distancing, when people are encouraged to stay away from each other, the church brought people together, though in a much smaller number. This happened both in the physical room and in the virtual room online. These are all sources of lived ecclesiology, which is understood through people’s lives and actions.
