In 2014, the restoration of paintings with the iconography of the Blessed Virgin Mary began. When the layers of coating and 20th century overpainting have been removed, little known but very impressive and artful works have been exposed.

Exhibition of works by Leonas Strioga “In the Field of Light”
2015 07 09 – 2015 08 30
“I am a happy man”, Leonas Strioga says. It does not mean that he is always cheerful and in good spirits, and his works convey only goodness and joy. Strioga is happy because he has realised the multi-faceted nature of the world and the individual, is not thrown off balance by the relativity of our times, and can clearly see the boundary between good and evil. Using the elaborate language of sculpture, he shares this knowledge and the resulting inner harmony with others.

Holy cards, or devotional or saints’ pictures, which were often referred to as abrozdėliai in Lithuania in the 19th and early 20th century, were printed or drawn images of Christian iconography, devotional objects attributed to the category of small or small-scale prints. These images were usually kept in a prayer book and were also called prayer-book images. They were also used as bookmarks and as decorations of prayer books or mobile illustrations with short prayers on the reverse.
