Our Lady of Tarac

A pilgrimage with boats to Tarac cove on Kornat island in Kornati archipelago is held each year on first Sunday in July, where the feast of Our Lady of Tarac is held at the small church in the cove. The church had been built in the late Middle ages on the remains of a bigger church that served as a shelter for seamen and fishermen that used to wait at the archipelago for the storms to pass so that they can continue with their sailing. Votive boat pilgrimage starts in Murter and after reaching Tarac, a mass is held and sea and fields are blessed.
