1009 AD March 9th
You never would have believed of having a chance to congratulate somebody with millennium anniversary. But here we are. Exactly 1000 years ago, in 1009 the name of Lithuania was first recorded in writing. “[In 1009] St. Bruno, alias Bonifacius, archbishop and monk, on the eleventh year of his conversion, smitten to head by pagans on the Russian-Lithuanian border, together with 18 of his brethren ascended to heaven on 9 March” (Quedlinburg Annals, c. 1009). On this occasion, may poor Bonifacius rest in peace, I would like to congratulate all Lithuanians and fellow Samogitians. Hopefully the world still hears from us in another 1000 years.
