The Myadel Calvary is a unique historical and architectural complex located on the northern outskirts of the city of Myadel, Minsk region.
The word "calvary" itself comes from the Latin name of Calvary – Calvaria.
Now calvaria is a circular route that begins near the northern outskirts of Myadel and symbolically repeats the path taken by Jesus Christ before the crucifixion.
By the 250th anniversary of the shrine, most of the chapels were reconstructed. Currently, 14 stations have been reconstructed.
🏞 The route with a length of about 2 km runs on both sides of the highway through the forest. It starts on the right side of the highway and ends on the left on the Mountain of Three Crosses – the local equivalent of Golgotha.

It's a beautiful place. Although I know the Myadel district well, I learned about calvary recently. Visited. Calvary facilities are located on both sides of the road, and in some places the grass is tall and uncut, but you can walk anywhere. It is better to wear closed clothes and shoes. The view is special at the end of the journey!

Myadelskaya is one of the ten most famous European calvaries. Therefore, this place is more interesting for believers. Those who are ignorant of the Passion of Christ will probably not be interested here. If you believe the local legend, Anthony Koshchyts, who owned the town, saw the appearance of the Virgin Mary, who indicated the place where the shrine should be erected in the form of several small chapels. And by the end of the XVIII century, a copy of the Cross Road in Jerusalem appeared in the town, consisting of 21 chapels. Unfortunately, they were destroyed. Only 14 were built anew. The starting point of the "Way of Christ" is at the entrance arch, and on the mountain of three Crosses is the final one. A stone was placed in the gate, which came from the Carmelite Monastery in Haifa. the final part of the way is on the other side of the highway - you need to turn left when entering the highway, then turn right at the first lapel and almost immediately turn left again.
