Abstract

One of the tasks of the Basilian Order of the Lithuanian Province in the 17th and 18th centuries was activity at the places of Marian cult. Thanks to the Basilians' efforts, two venerated Marian images were crowned with papal crowns. The Basilians initiated the practice of celebrating jubilee years and benefited from the indulgence privileges granted by the Holy See. They created visual and musical settings at places which attracted large numbers of pilgrims. Marian places of worship created by the Basilians contributed to the strengthening of the Uniate Orthodox Church community and the integration of the diverse society in the north-eastern areas of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
