Church of Our Lady of the Sign, Vilnius

Our Lady of the Sign Church (Russian: Знаменская церковь; Lithuanian: Dievo Motinos ikonos „Ženklas iš dangaus“ cerkvė) is an Eastern Orthodox church in the Žvėrynas district of Vilnius, built in 1903, belonging to the Russian Orthodox Diocese of Lithuania.

[1] The church, constructed in the most popular Neo-Byzantine style, was consecrated in 1903 by Iuvenaliy, the Orthodox archbishop of Vilnius.

[1][2] He also opened a school for poor children and a library which were to be run by the church's clergy.

[1] In order to commemorate the day, he granted to the newly established parish a copy of Our Lady of Kursk icon.

[1] Before 1956, the church was robbed a few times, losing part of the icons from the original iconostasis which had to be replaced by a far humbler one.
