Žemaičių Kalvarija
Žemaičių Kalvarija is a small town in Plungė district municipality, Samogitia, Lithuania. It is known as a major site for Catholic pilgrimage.
This place was mentioned in 1253 as Garde (Gardaí). In the 17th century, when the main church and road of cross was built, people started calling it the New Jerusalem, but after some time it was named Kalvarija after the name of the hill where Jesus was crucified. In the 20th century, the town was renamed to Žemaičių Kalvarija to avoid misunderstandings, because there is another town in south-west of Lithuania called Kalvarija.
