The pilgrimage of Germans from the Backa Region to Doroslovo, a village in Serbia

The Roman Catholics from the Backa Region have devoutly visited the Shrines in the area for many centuries.

Doroslovo is a sacred centre of the West Backa District. The Shrine existed in the Middle Ages called as Bajkút, then it was rebuilt in the 18th century. Since then it has been constantly changing and renewing with the contents of the religious and popular movements.

The paper presents and interprets the habits of the Germans who do the pilgrimage to Doroslovo village.

The religious popular prints of the 19th century (called Doroszlóer Maria-Lied) and the tradition of pastorals among the German youth in the first half of the 20th century was a great opportunity to counterbalance the national socialist ideas of the 1930s, which began the prevail in the German minority.
