Summary/Abstract: In the last few decades in more and more churches and places of pilgrimage books with different names can be found. There are personal prayers, thanksgivings to God, Virgin Mary and Saints in them. This is a special modern form of communication with the Transcendent which is more and more widespread in Hungary. What brings somebody to write his or her most inner thoughts, problems and suffering into a book which is available for everybody entering the church or the chapel? Who are these people? The study is looking for the answers to these questions.
