First of all, the thesis summarizes the cultural-historical context of the Baroque period in the Czech lands, then the elements of homilies as one of the most extensive genre of Baroque literature are defined – the thesis gives a few views on the definition of the preaching literature, furthermore the structure of homilies is described as well as the artistic means used in them. Before the analysis of homilies, the thesis deals with Baroque Marian devotion and with Marian festivities in Brno, which took place in 1736 and during the occasion the homilies were delivered – they are contained in the Conchylium Marianum.
