Usually, one, occasionally two, named saints are the patron saint of a church – and thus also of the parish it serves. However, this church in Kaunas took a different approach: it was not dedicated to one of the – almost countless – saints, but to Jesus Christ himself, specifically to his resurrection. This special and relatively rare patronage broadens the Christian perspective from the cross of Good Friday to the Easter perspective of hope: for suffering and death are only seemingly the end, but – in the infinite love of the triune God – they are overcome by the resurrection of Jesus, which we as Christians also hope for, leading to eternal life.

Kaunas has a beautiful old town. In the evenings, you can relax in one of the many bars.

The castle was originally built in 1367.

Beautiful town hall, called the "White Swan" by the locals.

The brick building was built around 1500.

No matter what you believe in or who you worship, the confluence of two Lithuania’s biggest rivers, Nemunas and Neris, is a place to restore your energy levels. It’s also sometimes called the birthplace of Kaunas. Some sources say this is where a grove of Milda, the Lithuanian goddess of love, courting, friendship and freedom, once was – maybe this is why the place has always been so popular among romantics. Setting a date at the confluence is a very traditional and special thing to do! Every Thursday, a Romuvian (Romuva is a contemporary continuation of the traditional ethnic religion of the Baltic peoples, more than 5,000 people consider themselves Romuvians) mass is held at the aukuras [fire altar] in the Confluence park.
