Sažetak

The historiography about the Archbishopric of Bar did not pay any particular attention to certain aspects of its sacred heritage. Namely, although elaboration of certain components of piety is inseparable segment of religious life of the Church and the ecclesiastical institutions of Bar, predominantly because of particular circumstances which characterized its history, these segments are mostly neglected in contemporary historiography. Therefore author of this article in his investigation took into account all the notarial sources, pictorial documents and records from the chronicles dating back from
the end of the fourteenth until the first decades of the seventeenth centuries, referring to the iconographic characteristics of the most important image of Bar, Our Lady of Ratac, as well as those sources related to the relics that belonged to the Archbishopric. On the
basis of the archival records related to commercial transactions, author analyze possible ways in which the Archbishopric and the commune of Bar could remain without the relics. Economic impoverishment of Bar, change of the sovereigns and frequent enemy havocs caused that the cathedral of Bar and the other communal sanctuaries lost their relics and valuable liturgical objects. Subsequent, early Modern period traditions, more or less
corroborated with scriptural testimonies, very probably represent the attempts of revival of the former glory. Communio Sanctorum, consisted of patrons of the town, in spite of its variations, points out the constancy in sequence of iconographic canons and symbolic
links between the perceptible, visual, and invisible, spiritual world.
