Abstract

Every year on the Feast of the Assumption (14 and 15 August) the sanctuary consecrated to theMother of God in Kloštar is a place of pilgrimage and pronounced folk piety of believers from nearby places. Thousands of people come to ‘’pledge to Our Blessed Lady’’ doing strictly religious rites. The faithful also participate in some folk
customs that follow this holiday. The position where the church is placed is a possible holy ground from the early past. Through this work, the concealed mythical structure connected with this sanctuary is being revealed.
