About Your Lithuanian Heritage!

I hope that some of you will be inspired to look a little deeper into our heritage. By taking the time to learn more about the struggles and achievements of our ancestors, Our Heritage can be understood in a far more vivid light. Just about everyone has some desire to ‘Belong’ to or associate themselves with a club, a team, an organization, a ‘movement’…well you get the picture. Some are quite passionate in their support. “Sports Fans” are perfect example of this. Just a reminder…”OUR TEAM” has been around for thousands of years!
And the ranks of the players have been filled by our ancestors and family members since long before recorded history. Every time we speak a Lithuanian word, a little ‘magic’ is shared between us. (Doesn’t matter how much or how little you can speak!) Every time you pass on a small piece of our heritage to your children, that ‘magic’ is allowed to propogate and flourish! During the holidays, when we put a few traditional foods on the table and recall tales told by loved ones who have long since passed on, We remember our bonds. These simple acts of tradition reach across the ages to connect us with our ancestors, and across the globe, to connect us with each other! It is not simple romantics that keep you ‘in touch’ with your Lithuanian ‘Spirit’. It is not ‘by chance’ that Lithuania continues to exist despite the challenges of invading armies, occupation by neighbors, and severe hardships suffered throughout the centuries. Some might say “But I never learned any Lithuanian and my family never celebrated holidays with Traditional Lithuanian foods or decorations!” I would tell them …”It has all been preserved FOR you!”

If you don’t know any words…learn some!

If you don’t know of any tradional Lithuanian foods…ask for recipes!

If you don’t know any traditional folk stories…search for them!

All of these things BELONG TO YOU! …and much more!

There are many people who are willing to help you to discover more about your heritage.

Above ALL, a place for you has been reserved!

Please feel welcomed!
