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.

The Historical Presidential Palace is a Neo-baroque building in the Old Town of Kaunas, Lithuania that served as the Presidential Palace during the interwar years. Today, the palace is a branch of the M. K. Čiurlionis National Art Museum. The original palace was constructed on in 1846, when a local aristocrat received authorization to build the two-story edifice. The project featured a symmetrically designed structure with seven rooms on the first floor, and nine rooms on the second floor. Shortly afterwards the building was expanded and another portal was added. In 1866, a garden was also laid out in front of the building. Two years later, additional structures were built nearby, and the building was acquired by the Russian government as a residence for the Kovno Governor. During World War I, Kaiser Wilhelm II briefly stayed in the palace in 1915 while visiting the Eastern front.

Scupture Values / Greed by Donatas Dovidavičius, 2006 One of the highlights of the former sculpture avenue is also fascinating because of its name change. It was renamed to Greed after the bankers moved into the adjacent building. Donatas Dovidavičius was born on September 1, 1979. In 2006, he graduated from the Kaunas Art Institute of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences and received a Master of Arts degree (specialization in sculpture). He is a member of the Lithuanian Artists' Union since 2009. He has been participating in exhibitions since 2004. He works in the field of sculpture.

Not Henry Wilson but Jonas Vileišis (January 3, 1872 – June 1, 1942) who was a Lithuanian politician. From September 30, 1921 until July 2, 1931, he served as mayor of Kaunas, the temporary capital of Lithuania. Under his direction Kaunas grew rapidly and became a truly modern city. A water and wastewater system, costing over 15 million Lithuanian litas, was put in place; the city expanded from 18 square km to 40; more than 2,500 buildings were built, including three modern bridges over the Neris and Nemunas rivers. All the city streets were paved, horse-drawn transportation was replaced with modern bus lines, new suburbs were planned and built, and new parks and squares were established. The foundations for a social security system were laid, three new schools were built, and new public libraries, including the Vincas Kudirka library, were established. He maintained many contacts in other European cities and as a result Kaunas was an active participant in European urban life.
