Blessed is the hand stroking a child's head, holding a book or extending it - like bread - to another.
Three times blessed is the hand which for 450 years has extended to us, to Lithuanians and Samogitians, our written language. All Lithuania has today assembled before that hand, has gathered around her book. Although only a few have seen it, everyone believes that it exists. It must exist, for without it Lithuania would not exist either. Therefore, we can say that we have two kings: Mindaugas, who created the Lithuanian state, and Mažvydas, who created the Lithuanian book.<...>
