Religion of Lithuania

Traditionally, Lithuania has been a Roman Catholic country. Although severely affected by Soviet repression, the Roman Catholic Church remains the dominant and the most influential denomination. However, Lithuania in the past has had two small but active Protestant denominations, the Evangelical Reformed (Calvinist) and the Evangelical Lutheran.

Lithuanian Cuisine

The products featured in Lithuanian cuisine are suited to the country's cool and moist northern climate: barley, potatoes, rye, beets, greens, berries and mushrooms are locally grown and dairy products are a specialty of the country.
