Vila Zelina is a neighborhood located in São Paulo, Brazil, best known for the great amount of Lithuanian immigrants that have settled there in the early twentieth century, being the second greatest colony outside Lithuania[1] and the sole neighborhood in the city to perform masses in Lithuanian in the São José Church. The neighborhood has also a great amount of Russian immigrants.
