Summary/Abstract: The main focus of the paper is on a slightly studied miraculous object in Christina religious culture – the chains. Many ritual practices and beliefs are connected with their practical and symbolic use. The text will trace the transformation of their use from a physical restraint tool to a new meaning of the miraculous and healing object, the contact of which serves as a connection between the pilgrim and the holiness.
