Tips
is a Marian pilgrimage site and its sanctuary of Notre Dame is well known in south-eastern Europe. According to a record from 1679, it was visited by pilgrims from Bosnia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Albania and Croatia. It is most popular on August 15th, the Feast of the Assumption. There are two paintings of Maria at the shrine. Until 1920 the S. Maria Plumbensis from the 18th century was held by the Franciscans in Ilok; later held in Petrićevac and Sarajevo, in 1964 it was moved to Olovo. A painting by Gabriel Jurkić from 1954 was based on a description of the older painting, whose whereabouts were unknown at the time.
