EXHIBITION, FIELD TOUR, LECTURES / Maritime Pilgrimages of the Adriatic: Religious and Cultural Routes and Centers of Relationship Networks

Overview

Pilgrimages are one of the oldest travel motives that create religious and cultural routes, transmit knowledge and emotions, and form symbols of national and local identities. Adriatic maritime pilgrimages are a religious practice that emerged in the process of connecting religious conceptualizations, different beliefs, and the maritime context of living. Maritime pilgrimages are annual rituals of venerating local saints, involving the translocation of a sacred object, people, or both across the sea as part of the ritual structure. The exhibition “Adriatic Maritime Pilgrimages” will showcase the maritime pilgrimages of Nin, Kukljica, Kornati, Rogoznica, and Perast. To bring the complexity of maritime pilgrimages closer to all interested visitors, a boat tour of two maritime pilgrimage sites, the Church of Our Lady of Tarca (Kornat) and the Church of the Queen of Fishermen (Piškera), will be organized, following the routes of maritime pilgrimages and everyday life. This tour will be accompanied by popular-scientific lectures on their past and present.
