Our church’s history
The Church is an earthly heaven in which the heavenly God dwells and moves. Standing in the temple, a person learns not only to pray, but to live before the face of God. St John of Kronstadt
Nothing strengthens the soul as much as being in the temple: here the heart gathers itself, the mind is enlightened, and a person once again remembers the purpose of life. St Theophan the Recluse

"One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple."

Psalm 27:4

About the parish

Orthodox Church of the Nativity of Christ in Bukiškis

Where can you find a place of stillness close to the city? Where can you pause amid the rush and hear an inner voice?

Not far from Vilnius, in the village of Bukiškis, stands the Orthodox Church of the Nativity of Christ. People come here not only seeking answers, but also seeking silence — the kind in which the heart gradually learns to pray.

On Sundays and feast days the Divine Liturgy is celebrated here. Worshippers may receive Confession and Holy Communion, submit remembrance notes for the living and the departed, and arrange sacraments such as Baptism, Marriage, Holy Unction, and other church rites.

If you are looking for an Orthodox church near Vilnius — come. There is always room here for prayer, stillness, and an encounter with God.
