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.
