The sculpture of the Virgin Mary and Child, a traveling highlight in the Trakai History National Park, is a stunning work of art with deep spiritual and cultural significance. This sculpture, created by sculptor Nerijus Kavaliauskas and erected in 2003 in the courtyard of the former parish school building, is a symbol of peace and maternal care.Upon visiting the sculpture, I was immediately struck by its serene aura and the intricacy of its details. The depiction of Mary with the child in her arms conveyed a sense of protection and innocence. Kavaliauskas's artistry is remarkable, as every line and curve of the sculpture is carefully crafted to create a deep emotional connection with the viewer.The sculpture is located near the Basilica of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, a Roman Catholic parish church located on a hill in the center of Trakai. The church itself is an architectural masterpiece and holds the title of a minor basilica. The proximity of the sculpture to the basilica reinforces its spiritual significance and creates an atmosphere of devotion and reflection.
