Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the origin of the devotional practice of the Roki kis Calvary Way of the Cross. It seeks to answer the question of whether the origin of the devotional practice is local or borrowed. The results of the research indicate that the Rokiskis devotion is a copy of the devotional practice of the Skapi kis Calvary 14 stations Way of the Cross. That conclusion reveals the love and respect that the counts of Tyzenhauzai family had for the Dominican Congregation. It also reveals that the devotion practice of the Calvary Way of the Cross is local and borrowed.
