Sažetak
The paper focuses on four Roman Catholic pilgrimage sites in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Kondžilo, Olovo, Podmilačje and Međugorje. The authors examine how pilgrimages can absorb and articulate conflicting memories of the past, different interpretations and experiences of contemporary sociopolitical realms, and diverse visions of the future. These pilgrimages are situated within very complex interreligious and interethnic relations that are still burdened with the divisions and antagonisms of the 1990s wars. As a result, according to ethnographic material, some of the sites are becoming symbols of one ethnic and religious community, while others draw their power and popularity from the interweaving or collaboration of the members of different ethnic and religious communities. The authors aim to point out the dynamic and changing nature of pilgrimage and thus call for much more nuanced and comprehensive research into the complex and diverse Bosnian and Herzegovinian realities, especially concerning various forms and multiple meanings of religious practices.
