The article analyzes the expression of religious attitudes of the inhabitants of Upper Orava in the 18th and 19th centuries by examining figurative stones erected in local villages. The creation of these figures in what is now Poland was a response to the Catholic population overcoming Lutheranism. The foundations of these figures date back to the second half of the 18th and 19th centuries, with the initiative coming mainly from the clergy, the local parish, sometimes from the rural commune, and from the 19th century also from individual farmers. The motifs of the performances referred to the Passion of the Lord, the triumph of the Virgin Mary and popular saints such as John of Nepomuk, James (patron saint of pilgrims) and Rosalie (patron saint against plague). These figures, becoming an integral part of holidays such as Corpus Christi or All Souls' Day, reflected religious practices deeply rooted in local culture. Despite the low level of individual piety, stone figures symbolize the residents' loyalty to the Catholic Church in the face of a threat to their religion, expressing the spirit of the times.
