Christ's Resurrection Church in Kaunas, Lithuania, is a monumental Roman Catholic basilica that stands as a symbol of the nation's enduring faith and resilience. Construction of the church began in 1934 and was intended to commemorate Lithuania's independence. However, its completion was delayed due to World War II and subsequent Soviet occupation. The church was used for various non-religious purposes during the Soviet era, including as a radio factory. After Lithuania regained its independence in 1990, efforts to restore the church to its original purpose were undertaken, and it was finally consecrated in 2004. The church is noted for its modernist architectural style and features a large cross that can be seen from various parts of the city.
