    Abstract

    For the past few years, on Sundays during the Easter period, groups
    of Catholics fill city squares (parks, shopping centres and the like) and
    celebrate the liturgy giving a testimony to Christian life. Very often these
    places are crossroads of trade, leisure, entertainment and commute trails,
    hence the celebrations raise actual bewilderment in busy passers-by. Suddenly,
    by imposing sacral references on the spaces of the profanum, they
    become symbolic places, the embodiment of a living Church on the move.
    The article attempts to read these specific meetings in the context of cultural
    phenomena: a theatre play, a live performance act, flash mobs, and
    others. The article also contemplates the construction of meaning of such
    space interpreted anew through the prism of these forms of evangelisation.
