Žemaičių Kalvarija Cross Road chapels

7 km long road for believers with chapels repeating the suffering of Jesus on the cross. Every year the Great Žemaičių Kalvarija Festival (Didieji Žemaičių Kalvarijos atlaidai), attended by thousands of pilgrims from Lithuania and abroad, takes place. The organization of the major church festivals began in the first half of 17th century after the construction of the first chapels of the Cross Road.
