Sažetak
It was after the pagan antiquity when Christian saints assumed the role previously held by pagan deities providing a direct relation between themselves and the God. This work presentation will explore Christian views on sailing with some of the Graeco-Roman background and will try to define the differences between pagan roman rituals and Christian practices on the Adriatic Sea. While the brief review of the pagan evidence in the sources on maritime rituals on the sea show many common places considering complaints about personal misfortunes accompanied by certain danger and fear, Christian written evidence of sailing suggest that the devotional practices of seagoing people were aimed especially at obtaining the intercession of Almighty God, Christ, Virgin Mary and saints.
