The

Catholic pilgrimage site in the historical region of Syrmia.[1] Initially, church authorities tried to prevent congregations from pilgrimage.[1] Later, it was permitted by bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer.[2]

In 1865, a shepherd from Ilača, Petar Lazin, claimed seeing water on the middle of the field road although no rain had fallen, and that once he made a hole, water started flowing and continued thereafter.[1] On the same night, another villager, Đuka Ambrušević saw the Virgin Mary with a child. In his dream, she told him that it was her spring, and that he must build a wall around it so that livestock could not drink from it.[1] When he woke up, he saw the image from his dream next to his bed.[1]

In 1866, a small chapel was built next to the spring, and in 1870 construction of a church began.

Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia in 1998, pilgrimage resumed.[1]

A documentary about Ilača pilgrimage was recorded in 2010.[3] It was presented at the UK Christian Film Festival and Lecce International Tourfilm Festival.[4]
