Annotation
Marian devotion has played a pivotal role in shaping religious practices, cultural identities, and social movements throughout European history. The research topic is open to interdisciplinary approaches including the research on historical and contemporary aspects of Marian devotion, particularly focusing on its intersections with nationalism, cultural heritage, and religious practices connected to Virgin Mary in diverse European and religious, spiritual and nonreligious (secular) contexts.
