Miserere, Les grands pèlerinages de pénitence en Europe

Miserere: The Great Pilgrimages of Penance in Europe is a photographic work by Dutch photographer Marrie Bot. This book powerfully and sensitively documents the pilgrimages of penance across Europe.

Through black-and-white photographs, Marrie Bot captures the devotion of believers, the collective marches, and moments of prayer, offering a vision that is both human and spiritual of these ancient rites. The images are accompanied by texts that provide context, but the visual impact remains at the heart of the work.

This book is intended for anyone interested in documentary photography, popular religious practices, or the study of penance rituals in Europe. It serves both as an artistic testimony and a unique sociocultural document.
