Summary/Abstract: In the article the picture of the Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of the Rosary, in the Holy Trinity Church of Troškûnai is discussed. Until now the picture was not studied thoroughly. The question of its origin still remains unanswered. Archive documents first mention its belonging to the Holy Trinity Church of Troškûnai in 1796 but they do not say that the picture was placed there by Bernardine monks. In 1850 or 1864 the picture was hidden, rediscovered in 1990 and restored in 1994. It combines elements from the pictures of the Czæstachawa Mother of God and of the Snowy Mary. Such a combination of Byzantine and Western styles is unique for European art.
