Lady of Karavaj
Marian pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of Karavaja takes place
each year on 25th May (a practice dating back to the late 18th century
when the Gelphi family brought sacred images depicting the Virgin Mary,
and Joanna of Caravaggio, home from Italy). It is attended each year by
both pilgrims and spectators. An image of the Holy Mother of God is
placed in a church in the hills which you reach after climbing 200
steps. Pilgrims from Croatia and all over the world climb the steps to
pray before this miraculous image. Renew your spirit with this
wonderful custom which has been cherished by Tisno residents and their
guests for years with the blessing of God.
