Explore the sacred geography of Central and Eastern Europe with Kevin J. Wright’s Catholic Shrines of Central and Eastern Europe: A Pilgrim’s Travel Guide.
Published by Liguori Publications in 1999, this first edition takes readers to more than 70 celebrated shrines and sanctuaries across eleven countries, including Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Greece, Romania, and Turkey.
The guide covers famous pilgrimage destinations such as the Shrine of Our Lady of Częstochowa, the Infant of Prague, Kraków, the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania, and other churches, monasteries, cathedrals, and sacred sites. Along the way, Wright discusses Marian apparitions, miraculous images, relics, Eucharistic miracles, biblical sites, and the histories and traditions associated with individual shrines.
The book is more than a practical travel guide. It offers a fascinating look at religious geography, pilgrimage traditions, Catholic devotional culture, sacred places, and the ways religious communities have attached meaning to particular landscapes and sites. Photographs, maps, travel information, and a bibliography make it useful both for travelers and for readers exploring European religious history from home.
