During Advent, in one catholic village in southeast Moravia, families maintain an extra-liturgical folk ritual called 'carrying the Virgin Mary to bed', also called 'putting Mary to bed'. The Advent event (the expected arrival of the Son of God) and the figure of the Virgin Mary became present every year through this ritual; it takes place in the village and in the families in real time. This Advent tradition has paralles in Austria, Bavaria and in Slovenia in the 19th century and carries elements of pre-Vatican catholic worship into the 21th century. It presents the shared message of the cult of the Virgin Mary through the songs.

The study contains a comparison of three local variations of the folk custom and domestic pilgrimage. It presents Catholic folk worship during the period of Advent, which is initiated by women of the older and middle generations. In the center of this worship is the honoring of the Virgin Mary. Women carry a statue of the Virgin Mary from house to house, where the family takes it in and prays to it. The following evening it travels to another family. The entire custom is based on the principle of a dialogue with the Virgin Mary. It takes place in three stages, by form of word and song: invitation and acceptance of Virgin Mary into the home, prayer and farewell.
