Žagarė town

the town of cherries and cherry wine,

Žagare is one of the oldest towns in Lithuania,

a threshold between Lithuania and Latvia

and this is the reason why its culture and people

are so different from the rest of Lithuania.

​

it has a tiny river,

dividing the town into 2 parts: the old one and the new one.

each of them has a separate church,

just because in the old times it was a sin to hold funeral without a church

for any of the town parts, 

so eventually the town had two of them.
