Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on January 6, 2005.
The arms reflects the local folk tale about the spring of mineral water in Kavarskas: once an old army chief had to choose his successor. So he stabbed his sword into earth down to the hilt, and said that the warrior, who will take the sword out would succeed him. Many warriors tried, but only one was able to do that. When he took out the sword, then a spurt of healthful water emerged.
The shape of charge is also similar to the 20 meters high cross built in the town in 1936. The Soviet regime tried to destroy it many times, but citizens of the town defended it each time.
