As the big holidays of the year approach, many feel like a marathon. It is often forgotten that the true meaning and significance of Christmas is not a rich feast, gifts wrapped in shiny paper, and not even a decorated Christmas tree. This is, first of all, a holiday of faith - the birthday of Jesus Christ.

It is said that God is the same, only there are many paths to him. We will visit not only the Catholic, but also the less visited Reformed sanctuary. And did you know that the war museum used to be located in a church?

Where do you pray while sitting on the chairs of the cinema, and where is the mass held in English? Who are the Minkovski brothers, after whom one street in Aleksot is named, and how are they related to the Kaunas synagogue?

During the tour, we will make wishes to the genie of Kaunas, touch the magical cross, and celebrate the warmth of the only such candle sanctuary in the world, we will also visit the church dedicated to the real and first Santa Claus in the world. A well-known person from Kaunas carried the cross on his shoulders through the city streets. Who did he decide to do and why?

We will also talk about the traditional Advent procession, during which a sculpture is brought from one of the oldest churches in Kaunas to the Town Hall. It has even become a joke among art studies students and monks.
