Tour "Religious Storms in Vilnius: Protestants in the Capital"

October 31 is celebrated as Reformation Day, because on this day in 1517 the Wittenberg theology professor and monk Martin Luther published his 95 Theses, which he sent to the Archbishop in Mainz. How did the followers of the Reformation fare in Vilnius? We'll discuss it on the tour. Vilnius was known as a multicultural, multi-confessional city. But was it enjoyable for those different faiths to live together? Not really. There were all sorts of contacts and conflicts. Let's search Vilnius for the traces and signs of those struggles. During the tour we'll find out: What's wrong with the doors of the Vilnius University library? Where did the first Reformed church stand, and why is it no longer there? Where was the true citadel of the Evangelicals – the place where a printing house and charitable institutions once operated? Where is the oldest monument in Vilnius? What Bible verse reference is carved onto it? Where were the first Reformation sermons preached in Vilnius? What should every Protestant know about the Roman Catholic Church of St. Casimir? Tour start: 11:00 by the Cathedral Bell Tower. End: around 13:00 on Vokiečių Street. Distance: about 2.7 km. Free for children under 12.
