First Lithuanian-Language Book Published

January 8th, 1547 478 years ago

The Catechism of Martynas Mažvydas was printed in Königsberg, marking the first Lithuanian-language book. This significant work provided the foundation for Lithuanian literature and culture. Mažvydas aimed to educate and promote the Lutheran faith among the Lithuanian-speaking population. The catechism served both a religious and cultural purpose, as it was essential for the Lithuanian community's literacy and identity during the Reformation.
