Summary/Abstract: In my research, I examine the visual representation forms of the Pentecost pilgrimage in Csíksomlyó within the online press environment. Electronic images depicting the ritual events, participants, objects, etc., widely circulated in the online space, serve as crucial elements representing the event. However, the representations of the pilgrimage on various online platforms diff er from each other. These differences are significant: not only of the pilgrimage event itself, but also of the news portals presenting the event. In my study I present the types of representations, shed light on the nature of the differences, and simultaneously explore the cultural-ideological background of these variations.
