Tree with cross. Vilnius and Kaunas cathedrals. A fragment from the poem "Dear Lithuania" by Maironis.

Script: Latin

Lettering:
BAŽNYČIOS TAVO NE TIEK GRAŽYBE,
NE DAILĖS TURTAIS, NE AUKSU ŽIBA;
BET DEGA MEILĖS, MALDOS GALYBE,
SENŲJŲ AMŽIŲ GYVA TIKYBA.

Translation:
YOUR CHURCHES ARE GLITTETING NOT IN THEIR BEAUTY
NOT IN THE RICHNESS OF THEIR PAINTINGS OR GOLDS;
THEY ARE BURNING WITH LOVE, WITH THE POWER OF PRAYER,
WITH THE LIVING FAITH OF THE OLD AGES.

Engraver: Vladas Žukas
