In Bucovina in the North-east of Romania, external mural
paintings have been preserved on some fifteenth and sixteenth-century churches
and monasteries One of these has a vast visual poem with the theme of Parousia
- The Resurrection of the Dead painted on the western wall at the entrance
of the church which attracts many visitors.
What did the people of the fifteenth and sixteenth century believe about the
themes represented in these paintings? In this paper we present a comparison
between the painted images from the monasteries of the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, the little information preserved from former centuries and the rich
material on offer from investigations in the field of oral culture carried out
in the nineteenth century.
