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.
