Adoration
In the German-speaking area, the Peregrini worship first took its way from the Servite Monastery of Innsbruck to Vienna ( Peregrini Chapel of the Rossau parish ) and from there to many other places (e.g. Peregrin picture from 1817 in Rattenberg; Peregrin votive picture 1851 in Mariazell ; End of the 18th century Peregrin shrine at the Bürgerspitalkirche Krems; 1773: Peregrini altar designed by Mölk in the parish church of Maria Langegg; 1898 side altar sheet of the parish church Maria im Elend; the Peregrini chapel in Maria Waldrast, consecrated in 2000).
In Vienna, not far from the Peregrini Chapel in the 9th district, the Peregringasse was named after him.
