According to Paparonis: "Lietuvas body is racked by her foes But herfree soul they will never conquer." The source of the Lithuanian nations comfort and hope is. in the first place. God Himself. Christ is a shining example to the suffering Lithuanian nation. He Himself was. in His lifetinie. homeless in the midst of His nation. He was also arefugee in Egypt ani the victim of Golgotha. But the finale of that world drama was the triumph of The Crucified. The Lithuanians also gather strength from their past history. Vytautas the Great also suffered the fate of a refugee. He was even a prisoner of the Teutonic knights. He. too. snded his reign nobly and gloriously.
