On the eve of the Day of the Restoration of the State of Lithuania, we invite you to take a walk around the oldest Catholic cemetery in Vilnius - Rasas, called the pantheon of the nation. Stories about this hilly area have been preserved even from the old pagan times, and since the beginning of the 19th century, many luminaries who deserved Lithuania have been buried here, without whose work and dedication we would probably all live differently today, and maybe somewhere else, and I don't know if we would speak Lithuanian. During the excursion, we will not only remember the people buried there, their deeds and fates, but we will also talk about the history of the cemetery itself, look for unique tombstones, monuments and chapels. You will find out why cemeteries outside the cities all over Europe started to be established only at the end of the 18th century, why the townspeople resisted burial in them and what tricks the authorities had to use to convince them to bury their loved ones in a new place.
