A dievdirbys ("god carver", plural: ''dievdirbiai'') is a Lithuanian wood carver who creates statues of Jesus and the Christian saints. The art is closely related to kryždirbystė (cross-carving), listed among Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The statues are carved according to artistic conventions developed over the centuries following Lithuania's adoption of Christianity. They are displayed along roadsides, in cemeteries, and in chapels or churches. The most popular figures are of Saint Roch, the Pietà, John of Nepomuk, Saint Casimir, the Nativity, Pensive Christ (known as ''rūpintojėlis''), Saint Florian, Saint George, Saint Anthony, Saint Agatha, and Saint Isidore. Using basic tools, the sculptures were carved out of linden wood, or occasionally oak, and sometimes painted. Along with three-dimensional sculptures, relief and bas-relief were also cultivated. The works decorate the altars of rural churches, of portable church altars, processional banners, aediculas, dwellings, and barns. The Stations of the Cross often feature these works as well. ==Examples== File:Kazimierzm.jpg|St. Casimir, the patron saint of Lithuania File:Sitting Jesus tottem.jpg|Rūpintojėlis File:Dievdirbiai 2.jpg|Pietà File:Dievdirbai 3.jpg|St. George and the dragon 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dievdirbys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
