Church of the Holy Spirit

Not rated yetVilnius

The Church of the Holy Spirit, or simply the Dominican Church, looks little different from others on the outside. But inside… that is a different story altogether! A wealth of portal cartouches with coats of arms, walls adorned with frescoes, sixteen altars, a fantastic organ – and before you is one of the most ornate churches of the High and Late Baroque in Vilnius. Look around as you enter: this Rococo interior is considered one of the most valuable of all Lithuanian churches. If you come during Mass, listen: to this day Mass here is celebrated only in Polish – this is the home of the Polish Catholic community. Go down into the crypts and you would find surviving human remains – victims of wars or epidemics. An inspection found as many as 23 mummies: women, men and children. And if you could step back to 1993, you would meet Pope John Paul II here – he visited this church during his visit to Lithuania.
