 Was Grand Prince Algirdas A Greek Orthodox Christian?
Grand Prince Algirdas (Olgerd) (1345-77) epitomizes the balance struck by Lithuanian rulers in the fourteenth century between opposing religious forces, since neither contemporaries nor later historians have been able to agree on whether he was an obdurate pagan or a Greek Orthodox Christian.
The possibility, suggested by R. Misiūnas,22 that Algirdas could have been baptized in Vitebsk and then reverted to paganism when assuming power in pagan Lithuania is intriguing and cannot be disproved, although it must be noted that Algirdas' enemies in Moscow and Constantinople accused him always of paganism, not of apostasy.
Algirdas is also portrayed as fiercely pagan in near-contemporary Greek and Slavonic biographies of three Lithuanian converts to the Orthodox faith who were executed by Algirdas and later proclaimed martyrs in Constantinople.

 LMIPC - Composers - Algirdas Martinaitis
Later in his career, Algirdas Martinaitis in an attempt to testify to his independence, turned towards "new animality" (as the composer puts it himself) and created the impressive "Book of the Beginning and the End".
It is a cycle consisting of 8 independent parts, ranging from Orwellian satirical newspeak in "Seven Animality Commandments", to the theatrically hooting sirens and electric grindstone in "Arma Christi", or "Abaddon" permeated with biblical motifs.
In the pieces of the past decade, Algirdas Martinaitis has followed a new path by inviting the music from the past with which he feels spiritual affinity, rethinking and commenting on the works of his favourite composers.
