Popis:	The Calvary of Vilnius (Verkiai) is a sacred place. Pious pilgrims made journeys of hundreds of kilometres on foot to repeat the Lord’s Way of the Cross. Verkiai Calvary has been established in the 17th century. The founder was bishop of Vilnius Jerzy Biallozor. Today the ensemble of Verkiai Calvary consists of the Finding of the Holy Cross Church and 35 martyrdom path stations. The sanctuary escaped closure for many years under the Soviet rule. Almost all stations were completely destroyed in 1962. The article discloses the story of the origin, life and tragic fate of these stations. In 1990, after Lithuania regained the independence and the freedom of religion, the rebuilding of the stations started.
