A hundred boats and thousands of pilgrims participate in the procession. Chapel Virgin Mary and Virgin Mary's ship On the peninsula of Gradina is a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Chapel, patron of the Rogoznica people and harbor. This is connected to the legend about the miraculous painting found by the fisherman Ivan M. Bogovcic Tumburko. In 1772 a fisherman went out fishing, near the Gradine cape, and saw an extraordinary light. When he approached the rock where the light shone, he found a picture of the Virgin Mary. The fisherman took the picture and placed it into a treasure chest in his house but the picture of the Virgin Mary returned to the place where he had found it in an unexplainable way, and that action was repeated three times. Soon after, the inhabitants of the village Rogoznica, together with the local priest, started to build a chapel on that rock. The ceremony is held on 2nd July on the Petrovcica. The picture is taken by the ship, in the company of a priest and young girls dressed in white, to the Caparinova waterfront. There, the picture is welcomed by the Bishop accompanied by many priests and believers. From the Caparinova waterfront starts a procession which then goes along the Rogoznica waterfront, and the picture of the Virgin Mary is taken to the parish church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The picture remains in the parish church until the first Sunday after Our Lady of Karmela, when it returned in festive procession by land and sea to its sanctuary on the Gradina Cape. A hundred boats and thousands of pilgrims participate in the procession. Many of pilgrims walk without shoes. Inthere was an epidemic of black measles and up to 40 people died daily. The local priest gathered the believers and they went barefoot on a pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the Virgin Mary, begging her for mercy. From that day people in Rogoznica stopped dying. Dragon's Eye The lake Dragon's Eye with the sea water is also located at the Gradina peninsula. The lake is considered to be a natural bioreactor with biochemical processes. Irregular in shape, measuring approximately 10,000 m², the lake is surrounded by vertical cliffs height of 4 to 24 meters above sea level. The bottom of the lake is sediment with a maximum depth of 15 meters near the middle of the lake. People in Rogoznica believe in the legend of the dragon and the brothers who had a fertile field at the site of the lake and yields supposed to be fairly shared. One of the brothers was blind and warned his brother to be fair in future. Otherwise, if he cheats, the land will be invaded, the field will sink into the water and out of the water will jump the dragon that will devour him. But the brother didn't listen and the curse was realized. The dragon swallowed a dishonest brother. Since then, the dragon settled in the lake and its breath poisoned the creatures in it. When the lake changes its color, people call it 'awakening of the dragon'. The inhabitants of Rogoznica swim in the lake, the kids jump from the rocks, and some believe that the lake has beneficial effects on health. Be sure to visit it and take a jump if you like.
