Located in the heart of the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, the Shrine of Divine Mercy attracts believers and nonbelievers from all over the city every day. Pilgrims from around the world are drawn here as well, desiring refreshment from the streams of grace coming from the Heart of Merciful Jesus.

In the eleven years since the Shrine opened, it has become a refuge for many wounded, strayed, and doubtful souls. Here, those rejected by the world find shelter; those cold in their faith, renewal. Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is available all day long: Jesus waits for his children night and day.

In the center of the Shrine above the altar is the original painting of Merciful Jesus, popularly known as the Image of Divine Mercy, made by the artist Eugene Kazimierowski in 1934, which our Savior Himself desired St. Faustina to have painted as a sign to the world of His infinite mercy. He promised many graces for souls who will pray with trust in front of this image.

The Shrine is decorated with two sgraffitos made by Nijolė Vilutytė: the Holy Mother of Mercy of the Gates of Dawn and the prayer "Jesus, I trust in you" in eleven languages.

The history of the Shrine began in the 15th century when it was first built as a small Catholic church in the gothic style and was named Holy Trinity Church.
