Abstract
The question of popular piety is present today for several reasons. In the first place, it is still alive in contemporary Croatian society which is, as well as the society as a whole, marked by new forms of religiosity that range between cognitive and emotional pole. The growing influence of individualism on society, also affects the area of religiosity, leading to new emphases in understanding the relationship among psychology, spirituality and religion. Therefore, experience, understood primarily as an emotional dimension of human existence, is imposed today as a fundamental category in evaluating and decision-making in all areas of life. The same process can be also recognized in the field of popular piety, where a certain gap between the cognitive and emotional dimension arises.
