Summary/Abstract: Church Dedications and Pilgrimages represent two of the defi ning and determiningliturgical moments for the church life in general, but also for the life of parishes,monasteries, dioceses, etc., in particular.These events also constitute an essential component of what the liturgists call„popular piety” (one of the decision-makers, par excellence, in the evolutionof worship structures, but also of the whole liturgical life), aspects which,unfortunately, were less studied and deepened, which is why we would like tounderline in this study two of the fundamental characteristics of these events,namely, the liturgical dimension and their missionary impact.
