The article discusses some images of the human body described in the 17th century funeral sermon by E. Zielejewicz: living, dead and resurrected. The preacher condemns all the signs of taking care of beauty of one’s living body. He describes a process of decay of a corpse with an anatomical precision. He tells about a mystery of resurrection using symbols (such as a bee or a palm tree). The author looks at different categories of human bodies from theological and religious perspective. His eschatological perspective of seeing humans imposes a specific understanding of aesthetical categories. Anthropology of the human body in Sermon from the Dead to the Living is directed to the eschatological dimension of human existence.
