Description
It has been nearly a hundred years since a publication was released in the Czech lands that dealt with the tradition of religious pilgrimages and the types of folk or popular art associated with them. Much has changed since then, but the foundation remains: the fascination with the countless "gifts from the pilgrimage," that is, the items that people brought back from their travels and still bring today. The admiration for the skill, labor, and talent hidden in the various objects that reminded pilgrims and their loved ones of the essence of the religious pilgrimage. This unique, lavish publication attempts to provide insight into the issue from various perspectives. For some readers, it offers basic information not only about pilgrimage sites but also about the character, origin, and tradition of these pilgrimages. For others, it introduces the objects that have been an integral part of our culture for centuries. And for all, more than 400 color photographs that showcase the respective items in all their touching beauty.
