Sažetak
This article examines the process young women and novices underwent when entering convent life or preparing to take solemn vows. It is based on eighteenth-century records preserved in the Archives of the Diocese of Dubrovnik, which provide information about the candidates themselves but also shed light on the ceremonies, their location, participants, and the questions asked. Furthermore, it analyses a young woman's entry into a convent as described in the Dubrovnik Book of Ceremonies, offering deeper insights into the transition process and the symbolic elements of the associated liturgical celebrations.
