"The Lietuvos kryžius (“Lithuanian Cross”) is a stylized folk art cross commonly found in Lithuania, used for funerals and as votive offerings. The cross marries Lithuanian pagan and Christian symbolism, and is derived from pre-Christian renditions of the cosmic tree. Most images include solar and lunar symbolism, such as sun’s rays and crescent moons, as well as tree branches, etc."

***************

▶ "Lithuania is now home to one of the world's great beer cultures, a beer culture that developed in relative isolation from the rest of the world. Farmhouse brewing survived to a greater extent in Lithuania than anywhere else, and through accidents of history, the Lithuanians then developed a commercial brewing culture from their unique farmhouse traditions. the result is a beer culture that is unlike any other, deserving a position next to the Belgian, British, German/Czech beer cultures.

 

This guide explains what is so special about Lithuanian beer, and helps you choose the right places to go and the right beers to drink."

I wandered into this gallery and encountered Edita Suchockyte, an artist and owner of the gallery. I ended up hanging out with her a bit during my stay in Vilnius. There will be more pics of her.

Virtually all my Lithuanian favorites together again--pancakes, kugelis, kuldunai, potato pancake. All that's missing is a bacon bun and those bow-tie cookies.
