Places of Pilgrimage. Svatá Hora in Příbram.
VACKOVÁ, Natálie
The first part of bachelor thesis deals with the origins of pilgrimage sites, their history, and journeys which pilgrims made across Europe and the Holy Land. This thesis discusses not only the preparations for these important journeys, but also the reasons why pilgrims set out on them, the meaning of a pilgrimage, what was taking place at the destination and what the journey back home looked like. The second part of this bachelor thesis introduces the pilgrimage site Svatá Hora in Příbram. It describes the origin of this place which is shrouded in legend, and presents eminent painters, stonemasons, stucco masons, sculptors and other personalities who substantially contributed to this important historical site. The work also does not omit the devastating fire due to which Svatá Hora had to be restored in 1978.

Pokorná, Gabriela ; Dvořáková, Markéta (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Michaela (referee)
This thesis attends to the Holy Mountain - a place of pilgrimage, mainly to its origins. We can observe the process of an ordinary and uninteresting place becoming the most well- known place of pilgrimage consecrated to the Virgin Mary in Bohemia. At first we go in for general overview of places of pilgrimage that will help us become more familiar with this broad issue, we mention e.g. locations of places of pilgrimage and pilgrims' motivation. Later we focus on the Holy Mountain. We follow its becoming a famous place of pilgrimage in the first centuries of its existence. We allude to miracles that took place here as well as important personages who had crucial influence on development of this place of pilgrimage. We are concerned with first pilgrims coming here, their motives and by the same token we aim at gradual rebuilding of the chapel and later construction work that led to a formation of a beautiful and monumental complex of buildings. Lastly we briefly go through the 20th century approach towards places of pilgrimage and the literary approach towards them in the last decades.

Věchtová, Irena ; Sládek, Miloš (advisor) ; Matějec, Tomáš (referee)
The reflection of childhood in Baroque miracles This Master's thesis aims to capture the reflection of childhood in miraculously answered prayers of the Baroque era. It works with a representative sample of cases, which was collected from several diverse Czech and Moravian pilgrimage sites (Karlov in Prague, Church of Our Lady Victorious with the statue of Infant Jesus of Prague, Hájek, Sázava, Chlum sv. Máří, Chrudim, Dobruška, Svatý Kopeček u Olomouce, and Křtiny). The sample thus comprises children coming from various environments and social strata. The records referring to miraculous answers to prayer are taken from manuscripts as well as from printed books of the period related to religious pilgrimages. The individual chapters outline the main aspects of Baroque-era children's lives found therein. The thesis first analyses issues associated with the birth of new life - the infertility of married couples, miscarriages, or complications during pregnancy, giving birth and childbed. A significant part of the thesis is given over to childhood illnesses - an extremely serious issue of the early modern era. Attention is also paid to diverse accidents and injuries of children.
