Humanitarian---Red Cross of Lithuania

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated medicine, including prescription medicine, to the Red Cross in Lithuania. The Red Cross loaded a truck and delivered 23 pallets of medicine to Ukraine. The medicine arrived at the Red Cross in 3 locations; Sumy, Liman, and Lviv. 

The goal of the Red Cross is to have a constant supply for medical supplies and medicines for Ukraine.


Missionaries in Vilnius, Lithuania

Castle: The complex consisted of three castles: the Upper, the Lower, and the Crooked. The Crooked Castle was burned down by the Teutonic Knights in 1390 and was never rebuilt. The Vilnius Castles were attacked several times by the Teutonic Order after 1390, but they did not succeed in taking the entire complex. Its complete capture occurred for the first time during the1655 Battle of Vilnius. Soon afterwards, the severely damaged castles lost their importance, and many buildings were abandoned. During the Tsarist annexation, several historic buildings were demolished; many more were damaged during the fortress construction in the 19th century.

Gate of Dawn: 

It was built between 1503 and 1522 as a part of defensive fortifications for the city of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. It has also been known as the Medininkai GateOf ten city gates, only the Gate of Dawn remains, while the others were destroyed by the order of the government at the end of the 18th century.
