Abstract:V prispevku analiziramo nastanek slovenske Kapele brezjanske Marije Pomagaj v baziliki narodnega svetišča Brezmadežnega spočetja v Washingtonu D. C. in njen kulturni, politični in verski pomen za Slovence in slovensko-ameriško skupnost. Ideja za njen nastanek se je začela z individualnimi pobudami sredi šestdesetih let 20. stoletja, te pa so sčasoma prerasle v institucionaliziran projekt, ki je presegel ideološke razlike in povezal precejšen del slovensko-ameriške skupnosti. Prispevek rekonstruira njen razvoj na podlagi ohranjene pisne zapuščine njenih snovalcev in časopisnega poročanja. Posebna pozornost je namenjena analizi končne podobe kapele – njeni arhitekturni zasnovi, notranji opremi in umetniški simboliki, ter posvetitveni slovesnosti leta 1971, ki je na simbolni ravni združila ljudi z različnimi prepričanji in poudarila njihovo skupno identiteto ter pripadnost slovenstvu.

Title:The Slovenian chapel in Washington, D. C.: : the history of its foundation and its cultural, political and religious significance for Slovenians and the Slovenian-American community
Abstract:In this paper we analyse the creation of the Slovenian Chapel of Our Lady of Brezje in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. and its cultural, political, and religious significance for Slovenians and the Slovenian-American Community. The idea for its creation began with individual initiatives in the mid-1960s. In the late 1960s, these ideas eventually grew into an institutionalized project that transcended ideological differences and brought together a significant part of the Slovenian-American community. The paper reconstructs its development on the basis of the surviving written legacy of its creators and newspaper reports. Special attention is devoted to the analysis of the final form of the chapel - its architectural design, interior decoration and artistic symbolism, and the dedication ceremony in 1971, which brought together people of different beliefs and emphasised on a symbolic level their common identity and belonging to the Slovenian community.
