Description of Šiluva church in Samogitia

The article contains a description of Šiluva, a town in the district of Rosėnai, where there is a Marian shrine with a famous image of the Virgin Mary. The surroundings of the town and, in particular, the church itself are described. Also described is the history of the Zawiš and Kžgajl families, as well as the miracle in 1612 when the Virgin Mary allegedly appeared on a stone near the town, which resulted in a decree a decade later in Šiluva being returned to Catholics.
