Summary/Abstract: The study aims to provide a series of legal landmarks regarding pilgrimages and pilgrimages in the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic, with reference to the right freedom of thought, conscience and religion as stipulated in Article 9 of The European Convention on Human Rights or in Article 18 of The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights while also approaching the issue of the state – Church relationship. We also analyse the set of measures taken by the National and County Committees for Emergency Situations in the context of the feast of the Holy Pious Parascheva in Iaşi, the patron saint of Moldova, which takes place every year, on October 14, and the pilgrimage to Iaşi.
