Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se temom hodočašća i svetih mjesta s posebnim naglaskom na kršćansku tradiciju. U radu je istražen povijesni i duhovni značaj hodočašća, analizirana su ključna sveta mjesta te je raspravljeno kako su ta mjesta oblikovala vjerski identitet i praksu. Osim toga, rad se osvrće i na hodočasničke tradicije u drugim religijama, poput islama, hinduizma i budizma, naglašavajući univerzalnu potrebu za svetim prostorima i duhovnim putovanjima. Na kraju, rad razmatra suvremeni izazov komercijalizacije svetih mjesta, istražujući kako ekonomski interesi mogu narušiti njihovu duhovnu svrhu i autentičnost. U zaključku se ističe potreba za očuvanjem svetosti tih mjesta usprkos modernim društvenim pritiscima, uz naglasak na važnost uravnoteženja vjerske i ekonomske vrijednosti svetih mjesta.
