Abstract

The article focuses on the complex question of continuity and change as exemplified by ritual policies and ritual practices during the Lutheran reformation in 16th century Denmark-Norway. Thematically the article concentrates on matrimony and funeral. A main point is that despite changes in liturgy and church organisation motivations and practices demonstrate a remarkable continuity. The most eclatant change seems to have taken place in the field of ritual entrepreneurship: The Lutheran clergy lost control thus leaving initiative and interpretation to the congregations.

Članek na primeru poroke in pogreba tematizira kompleksno vprašanje kontinuitete in sprememb na primeru ritualov in in ritualnih praks v času luteranske reformacije na Danskem in Norveškem v 16. stoletju . Kljub spremembam v liturgiji in cerkveni organizaciji je za motivacijo in prakso značilna kontinuiteta. Najopaznejša sprememba se je zgodila na področju obrednih aktivnosti: luteranska duhovščina je izgubila kontrolo in tako iniciativo in interpretacijo prepustila kongregacijam.
