Since the beginning of the anthropology of pilgrimage, scant attention has been paid to pilgrimage and pilgrim places in central, eastern and south-eastern Europe. Seeking to address such a deficit, this book brings together scholars from central, eastern and south-eastern Europe to explore the crossing of borders in terms of the relationship between pilgrimage and politics, and the role which this plays in the process of both sacred and secular place-making. With contributions from a range of established and new academics, including anthropologists, historians and ethnologists, Pilgrimage, Politics and Place-Making in Eastern Europe presents a fascinating collection of case studies and discussions of religious, political and secular pilgrimage across the region.

Ko so prišli v današnji prostor, so Slovani prinesli s seboj iz svoje pradomovine svojo staro vero, svoje mitsko razumevanje. Da bi lahko v celoti zavladali novemu prostoru, so morali bogovom stare vere določiti prostor v novem življenjskem okolju. Na ta način je tisto, kar je bilo tuje in neznano postalo svoje in poznano. Stari žreci so uredili prostor in sled tega je vidna do današnjih dni. Vemo, da imajo nekateri sakralni toponimi, ki so na topografskih kartah, svoj izvor v obdobju doseljevanja Slovanov. Slovani so postavljali svoja božanstva na kraje, kjer je neka svetost že obstajala. S prehodom v krščanstvo so kult svetosti ponovno vzpostavili tako, da so stare slovanske bogove zamenjali s krščanskimi nadomestki. Na Hrvaškem najdemo toponime, ki nam govorijo o predkrščanski slovanski mitologiji, tudi jugovzhodno od Splita na območju Žrnovnice, Podstrane in srednjih Poljic. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 'Perun's Spear' Having come to this area from their fatherland, the Slavs brought their ancient beliefs and mythical worldview. To completely dominate the new space, the gods of the old faith had to be placed in the new environment - this way, all things foreign and alien became personal and recognizable. Old mages put their seal in space and that mark is visible to this day. We know that some of the sacral toponyms located on the maps originated from that time - the time of the settlement of Slavs. Slavs placed their deities in places where certain sacredness was already present. With the transition to Christianity, the cult of holiness was re-established - with only difference that Christian substitutes were placed in place of the old Slavic gods. Toponyms referring to pre-Christian Slavic mythology are found in Croatia, southeast of Split, in a wider area of Žrnovnica, Podstrana and central Poljica.
