The Kalnapilis Beer Feast of St. Cunegundes, March 3

St. Cunegundes is the Patroness of Lithuania! 

She was married to St. Henry of Bavaria (although I doubt he was called that until after he died) who, upon the death of Otto II (his cousin), became  the Holy Roman Emperor! St. Cunegundes (or Cunegundes, Cunegunda, and Cunegonda and, in Latin, Cunegundis) and St. Henry didn't have any children either because they couldn't or St. Cunegundes swore a vow of chastity. Which would explain the look on Henry's face.
