    In the village of Dargužiai, Varėna district, there is still a tradition of gathering for a joint prayer at the chapel in the center of the village every May evening and singing May hymns. "We have been praying here all our lives. You come, stay, talk, and pray - that's how it should be," say the women of Dargužiai who gather at the chapel in the evenings, preserving the tradition of May services that many have already forgotten. The chapel was built in 1876.

    In the middle of the village there is a chapel, built in 1876 by the youth of this area. In the chapel there is a statue of the Virgin Mary.
    In May, people from Dargužiška gather here to pray. Dargužiai is
    famous for the Pentecost festival, when every housewife has always tried to make the most delicious cheese. It is not for nothing that the famous Sūrininkai House is located in this village, where you can not only taste various types of cheese, but also buy them or even learn the art of making them.
