摘要：This article aims at drawing attention to the relationship between theological thought and popular belief and demonstrating it through a set of selected examples. A representative example is found in the collection of humoristic folk stories Facende otoka Visa. It is known by the name Duše blaga. This story shows in an interesting way how the theological concept of purgatory is functioning in popular religious practice. Furthermore, the work reported in this paper relies on several similar interpretations in which it is possible to find Christian and pagan heritage. Above all, we found valuable folklore legends containing motives of encounters with the dead (ghosts).
