description The paper deals with the analysis of the pilgrimage management structure in Lithuania. <em>The author presents the possible intervention framework of the pilgrimage’s management. The network of sacred places in Lithuania is the main resource of the religious tourism and pilgrimage. </em>Analysis includes historic background, and contemporary novelties <em>of the network of pilgrim sites. Travellers and stakeholders </em>become more and more important in the management system<em>. Various NGOs, as the </em>Community of Lithuanian Pilgrims, play an important role in promoting pilgrim sites and pilgrimage. <em>However, the main strategies and projects of the pilgrimage development in Lithuania are related to the creation of new pilgrim routes. </em>Despite diversification, the phenomenon of religious tourism and pilgrimage is viable and involves travellers to consume these historic and contemporary religious pilgrimage routes.
