One of the forms of activity of the order of the Lithuanian Province of Basilians in the 17th and 18th centuries was activity in places of Marian cult. The monks undertook efforts to continue spreading the Marian cult in centers that were popular in the times before the Union of Brest, both in cathedral cities (Vilnius, Minsk, Nowogródek) and in Żyrowice. The Congregation accepted foundations from elite families of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, who saw the activity of the monks as an opportunity to create a place of worship in the monasteries they founded. Thanks to the efforts of the Basilians and the Uniate hierarchy, two images of Mary that were worshiped were crowned with papal crowns. The Basilians animated religious life. They initiated the practice of celebrating jubilee years and took advantage of indulgence privileges granted by the Holy See. They created visual and musical settings in places where large numbers of pilgrims gathered. They organized the printing of publications on venerated Marian images. Places of Marian cult created by the Basilians of the Lithuanian province contributed to strengthening the community of the Uniate Church and integrating the diverse society in the north-eastern areas of the Polish-Lithuanian state.
