People often talk about Jesus, but what happened to virgin Mary? During the Middle Ages, Mary was one of the most important characters in Christianity, but today she is largely overlooked in Scandinavian Christianity. In the medieval cult of saints, she had an exceptionally important and influential position, people often turning to her in times of difficulty. In this tour we explore the different expressions of this lively cult that could be encountered in the parish churches in medieval Scania.

The tour is included in the admission fee. No booking is required.
