Interest in the question of security at religious celebrations and sacred buildings has
been growing significantly in recent years. There are many reasons for this state of affairs.
These include, on the one hand, the organisational complexity of ensuring security
and the lack of widespread knowledge of church structures, and on the other hand, the
threats to these celebrations. By virtue of their competences, the issue of security at religious
celebrations naturally becomes the object of interest of academic centres and research
groups unrelated to such celebrations. One of these organisations is the Institute
of Social Security operating within the Social Observatory Foundation. The initiatives
undertaken by this institute are of a systemic nature and are conducted mainly in the
field of security studies. One manifestation of these initiatives are the annual academic
meetings organised in the form of conferences and workshops, as well as participation
as members of research groups established for the purposes of exercises organised by
Polish rescue and police units. This article is an attempt to initiate a scholarly discussion
outside the implementation of academic projects conducted within the framework of
research projects. Its aim is to stimulate reflection on the complex nature of the process
of ensuring the safety of participants at religious ceremonies, with the main emphasis
on the safe attendance of the worshippers participating in them.
