Hello, I would like to introduce LENKIMAI, a small and cozy Lithuanian town. Beautiful nature, but unfortunately, some strange brown water.
Lenkimai, a town in the municipality of Skuodas district, 16 km southwest of Skuodas, on the Latvian border; the center of the precinct, parish. 513 inhabitants (2021). The Sventoji River flows along its western edge (Latvia's border runs along it). Highways to Skuoda, Kretinga, Mosėdis. Bends - rectangular plan. St. Anne's Church (built in 1848); it contains art monuments. Post office, medical center, primary school (1915–19 government primary school, 1919–47 primary school, 1947–52 secondary school, 1952–2001 secondary school; school museum is open), cultural center, library (1953). In Lenkim Square, there is a monument to S. Daukantas (built in 1993; sculptor R. Midvikis, architect A. Skiezgelas). 3 km east of Lenkimi is the Kalvii mound, 4 km east - the birthplace of S. Daukanta (Kalviai), 2 km southwest - the Margininkai Botanical Zoological Reserve.
History
It is believed that Lenkimai settled around 1560 during the Vlach reform.
Today I traveled to the missing village It's the village of Anduliai-Egliškiai It's a shame that most of the land is bought with the inscription "Private property".
Ėgliškiai is the oldest inhabited area of Western Lithuania, where it has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. At the end of the Bronze Age and the beginning of the Iron Age, the dead were buried and burned on the left bank of the Dane, between it and Šaltupis (Kapupis) in barrows[2], as well as in flat graves installed between them.[3] 1st millennium BC m. e. help - 1st century the dead are buried unburnt, and pits are dug for graves near barrows and in their pits.
Ancient settlement I-IV centuries. stood in the ravine between Danė and Shaltupis (Kapupis). The houses were small, above ground, pillar structures. The barrel was heated by a recessed fireplace in the corner, which was also used for cooking.[5] Later, the community settled on the other side of the Degal stream, and around the 1st millennium BC. built a mound next to the burial ground, [6] near which there was a quarry called the Thunder Mountain.
1253-1263 is localized on the mound. Kretinga Castle is mentioned, which was ruled by the Curonian nobleman Veltūnas and his brothers Reiginas, Tvertikis and Saveidis. Curonians in 1260 after the rebellion against the crusaders, the castle became one of the centers of the rebellion. 1263 the crusaders burned it, killed the defenders, and took the women and children captive.
The Germans ruled these lands until the 20th century. middle In their time around the 17th century. the village, which in German was called Nicolau Eglien (1687), was established in the 18th and 19th centuries. - Eglien Nicklau (Eglien Niclau, Eglin Niclau).[7] In iconographic material 1796-1802. next to the old name, the name Eglischken is used, which in 1860 the whole area is called. The village of Ägliškii was finally formed in 1898. on July 1, after connecting the village of Venskä (Paupeln-Jakobo) to Eglin-Niclau.[8] The place name Eglien Nicklau came from the personal name Mikalojus Eglynas, and the name Ėgliškii comes from the word eglė.
The villagers were of Lithuanian origin. Most from the 16th century. professed the Evangelical Lutheran faith and belonged to the Kretingale Evangelical Lutheran community, and Catholics to the parish of the Klaipėda Catholic Church. 1944 most of the population left for Germany.
Psalms 61:1-8
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. Increase the days of the king’s life, his years for many generations. May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him. Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day.
Hello, I haven't written in a while. I was just tired. My health has not yet fully recovered from the operation. But I feel better. I can already travel around the neighboring countries. This time I want to introduce you with Latvian cities.🇱🇹🫶🇱🇻
My Easter composition. Celebrating the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
God bless you! Let the living resurrected JESUS reign in your heart. May the peace of God enter your life. JESUS rose that you might have hope, that you might live. He is on the throne, He is in control, He is ready to receive you if you open your heart to Him. Happy Easter!
If a luxury car drove by. Think how rich and lucky the person is sitting behind the wheel. Don't be fooled! Maybe he's thinking about suicide. Maybe he heard from the doctor that he has cancer, he doesn't have much left to live. Maybe he sacrificed everything for his career and lost it, he only has this car? the best he would gladly trade his life for yours. Think how much God loves you. God gives more than life. He gives abundantly. He heals, liberates, gives peace, wisdom. He gives eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ. Only through Him can we be reconciled to God. He is the SOURCE of our life. From HIM we can freely draw life. God loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for us, so that those who confess Jesus Christ as their Savior will have eternal life. We can approach God boldly through Jesus Christ because through Him we are clean. You took all our sins on the cross so that we don't have to. This life passes quickly. How joyful it is to know that even greater joy awaits us after death!
I'm not a great cook. But today I cooked a delicious soup. I like to experiment. We Lithuanians 🇱🇹 (from the north) like to eat fatty food in winter. Because it's cold here. In summer, we eat low-fat food.
However, I'm not a typical Lithuanian, because I don't like fatty food.
Ingredients: I melted goat butter (82%) in a pan; cubed chicken, carrots, champignons; spices (salt, pepper, oregano, herbs de Provence). I boiled 2 liters of water in a pot, poured fried carrots, chicken, and champignons with spices from the pan. I cut the tomatoes and red pepper (in cubes). I poured everything into a pot and boiled for about 20 minutes. At the end, I added 2 large spoons of vermešeli pasta and cooked for another 5-7 minutes. And that's it! Bon appetit!
Charity concerts, psychologists, lectures, material life is improving, suicide prevention is not bad, but depression and suicides are not decreasing, this only shows how big the problem is, people are powerless. All this keeps a person away from problems, at the same time he gets better, but returns with an even bigger "wave". I finally lost the will to live. I can say this with confidence because I myself suffered from severe depression for 10 years. I was treated by 7 different psychologists, given many medicines, but nothing helped. Until one day I fell to my knees in such pain that I decided I didn't want to live anymore. As soon as I started calling on the Lord Jesus Christ, He listened. He strengthened me and healed me. It's been about 2 years now and I haven't taken any medication. With Jesus Christ, there is always a happy ending. The only hope is Jesus Christ. May God heal your heart. No problem or situation is too big for Him. Give it to him!
Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come to me all who are weary and burdened. Then I will save you.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me. For I am meek and lowly in heart. Then you will find refreshment in your soul.
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. "No one is going to do it for you. You must accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior by faith.
