This cathedral was founded during the reign of Prince Vitovt. Initially in the Gothic style, and then in the course of numerous restructuring, he acquired the features of the Baroque style. The cathedral stores the Byzantine icon of the Mother of God, presented to Vitovt by the Byzantine ruler in honor of the betrothal of Vitovt's granddaughter with the Byzantine Tsarevich Emmanuel. During the plague in the 17th century, the priest of Vaina undertook the course of repentance from Trakai to Vilnius with the nose of the icon. Along the way were prayers and penance. They say the Plague has receded. Translated with Google Translate
