  Abstract:   The exploration of Christian Europe that Joseph Weiler has called for meets in East and West traditions of Marian veneration. These pilgrim routes and pilgrim destinations span like a net across Europe. They can support a pan-European identity construction as well as regional or national narratives of identity. The perspective of Marian pilgrimage sites can thus help to understand the tensions but also the complementary and coherent aspects of identity construction on a European, national and regional level. The article focuses on Csíksomlyó in Transsilvania, which is discussed in the context of European Marian veneration.

Keywords: European Integration, Identity, Pilgrimage, Virgin Mary, Csíksomlyó
