Notable Catholic Saints
St. Casimir (patron of Lithuania and Poland), Bl. George Matulaitis, martyrs of Vilnius (Sts. Anthony, John, and Eustace)
Lithuania was the last pagan country in Europe to be baptized — and one of the most tenacious Catholic nations under Soviet occupation. The Hill of Crosses, where believers replanted crosses as fast as the Soviets bulldozed them, stands as one of the most powerful symbols of faith's persistence in the 20th century.
