Masks / Kraboszki

Kraboszka – a ritual mask appearing in the All Souls' Day ceremonies in the Slavic religion, made of birch bark, leather or wood.

The use of masks by the Slavs in ceremonies honoring the dead is mentioned in several sources. One of them is the Chronicle of the Czechs, citing the prohibition of Prince Brzetysław:

Also the ungodly games that they performed over their dead, dancing with masks on their faces and calling up the shadows of the dead. The good prince eradicated these horrors and other sacrilegious inventions so that they would no longer happen among God's people.

Masks were also used in ceremonies in honour of the dead, which took place in the Gniezno Cathedral, as the decree of Pope Innocent III of 8 January 1207 tells us. The use of masks by priests and laypeople during ceremonies in churches and cemeteries is also mentioned in the Statute of the Archbishop of Gniezno, Janislaw of 19 February 1326, in which the archbishop decrees:

[...] that priests and laypeople dressed in masks should not wander around churches and cemeteries during the service, because such spectacles of entertainment cool the love of service, the dignity of the church suffers, and the priesthood falls into disrepute.
