Can the story of one man reflect the fate of a nation? Can four years of life in Vilnius speak about several different political regimes? Can the story of one prisoner bring closer the memory of people imprisoned, exiled, tortured and persecuted by other political regimes such as the Nazis or Communists?<\/p>\n

Fr. Alfonsas Lipni\u016bnas (1905\u20131945) spent only a handful of years in Vilnius (1939\u20131943), but suffered under both Soviet and Nazi regimes. Despite difficult circumstances, the priest devoted his time to Lithuanian intelligence groups, fostered young people, organized relief for war victims and poor city residents. He also became famous as a great teacher and homilist. Crowds would gather to hear his homilies, including: university instructors, people of strong faith, non-believers, and people of other faiths. He did not close his eyes to the distorted reality of political ideologies, instead he delved into them, and called upon the people to fight.<\/p>\n

In 2006, the case of the beatification process of God’s servant Alfonsas Lipni\u016bnas was opened in the Diocese of Paneve\u017eys, and in 2021, the case documents were handed over to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in the Vatican. This route is an opportunity to get acquainted with the life of Fr. Alfonsas Lipni\u016bnas in Vilnius, to learn about what his everyday life looked like here \u2013 where he lived, where he visited, who was in his circle of friends, and also to look at the extremely difficult historical time through the activities of one person, who continued to live in truth.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

The House Where Alfonsas Lipni\u016bnas Lived<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Fr. Alfonsas Lipni\u016bnas lived in this house from 1939\u20131943. His arrival in Vilnius was determined by historical circumstances. In 1939, Vilnius was returned to the Republic of Lithuania, and slowly so were Lithuanian institutions which had been temporarily relocated in other parts of Lithuania. Among them was the Pedagogical Institute, where he began teaching right after returning from his studies in France.<\/p>\n

When he moved to Vilnius, the priest settled in a two-room apartment near the Gate of Dawn (then address \u2013 Gate of Dawn 27-15). According to the numbering of pre-war buildings, the house in which he lived survived during the war, but the Barkenberg house which bordered it, was destroyed. Fr. Lipni\u016bnas lived in this building the entire four years that he spent in Vilnius. On the night of March 17th<\/sup>, 1943 he was arrested and taken to Stutthof Concentration Camp.<\/p>\n

The apartment where Fr. Alfonsas lived became a shelter, a safe haven and a peaceful \u00a0space for the residents of Vilnius. The community that gathered were: believers, groups of ateitininkai (futurists), students, public figures, and others in need gathered in this space. In 1941, with the initiative of Fr. Lipni\u016bnas, Laisv\u0117s Fondas (the Freedom Fund) was established with the goal of helping people who were disadvantaged during the war: widows, large families, the unemployed, elderly or poor citizens of Vilnius. It was in the apartment of Lipni\u016bnas that people brought or sent donations and support, which the priest distributed to the poor with the help of student ateitininkai.<\/p>\n

Seeing the circle of student ateitininkai growing, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas contributed to the establishment of the Vilnius ateitininkai chapter, although conditions were not favorable for this organization at that time. He was the spiritual advisor of the ateitininkai in Vilnius, and often gave lectures to them. Fr. Lipni\u016bnas applied his knowledge, initiatives and ideas brought from his years of study in France and Belgium. He was able to educate not only with his words, but also with his fortitude, courage and strength.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

The Chapel of the Mother of Mercy at the Gate of Dawn<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This Church is included as part of the following itineraries: <\/strong>The Way of Mercy<\/a>, <\/strong>Places of Marian Devotion<\/a>, <\/strong>The Route of Saint John Paul II<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

The Shrine of the Gate of Dawn was halfway between Fr. Lipni\u016bnas\u2019 apartment and the Pedagogical Institute where he taught, which made it easy for him to carry out his ministry.<\/p>\n

Soon, Fr. Alfonsas became famous in Vilnius as a great homilist. From 1941 to 1942, the Chapel of the Gate of Dawn became a unique attraction in Vilnius . People from Vilnius and surrounding towns came to listen to his homilies which were simple yet bold, interesting, lively, and touched on everyday topics. As soon as he appeared on the balcony, there was no room outside on the street at the Gate of Dawn. Even those who rarely went to church came to listen.<\/p>\n

In his homilies, he discussed everyday life experiences \u2013 disagreements, laziness, lack of idealism, family troubles, and he often referred to the rule and wrongdoing of the occupants. Father Stasys Yla, imprisoned in Stutthof together with Fr. Lipni\u016bnas, wrote a book about Fr Lipni\u016bnas. He wrote that despite the transgressions during that time, Fr. Alfonsas did not seek to pick on, belittle, scare the listeners with thoughts of suffering, the flames of hell or the devil, but instead always appealed to their conscience, always ending with a hope-filled thought that one can overcome sinfulness. It was as if he wanted to pat you on the shoulder saying: \u201cMan, you are great and valuable, so be worthy of this name.\u201d<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

The State Pedagogical Institute<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

After the transfer of The State Pedagogical Institute from Paneve\u017eys in November 1939, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas had to move to Vilnius. This institute kept getting relocated from one city to another. It was founded in Klaip\u0117da in 1935, then in 1939, with an ultimatum declared by Nazi Germany to Lithuania, and with the occupation of the Klaip\u0117da Region, the institute was moved to Paneve\u017eys. Soon after, Lithuania regained Vilnius, and the institute was established in the capital. It functioned only for several years, and in 1943, it was closed by the German occupational government. The institute was re-established in 1944.<\/p>\n

Fr. Lipni\u016bnas taught sociology and religion at the Pedagogical Institute, and also became the chaplain of the institute. In Vilnius, the student body grew to several hundred students, including teachers from the Vilnius district. Fr. Lipni\u016bnas not only taught, but also created a close relationship with the student community. He appealed to the students because of his simplicity and ability to socialize sincerely. They even visited his apartment.<\/p>\n

However, in June 1940, when the Soviet army occupied Vilnius, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas lost his duties at the Pedagogical Institute. According to the rector, he was even forbidden entrance to the institute, and religion was no longer taught.<\/p>\n

In the summer of the same year, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas met with Me\u010dislovas Reinys who had been recently appointed Archbishop of Vilnius. The Archbishop understood well what the Soviet government’s policy toward religion would be, so he decided that the best way to communicate with the faithful would only be in church. The priest was offered new duties \u2013 he became homilist at the Church of Saint Johns.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

The Lithuanian National Philharmonic <\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Acquaintaces recall Fr. Lipni\u016bnas attending poetry evenings, and how he was also interested in art, literature, and was in contact with the Lithuanian intellectual elite of Vilnius, and the educated. It is remembered that during the evenings of Lithuanian poetry, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas could be spotted in the hall of the National Philharmonic. By participating, he expressed support for young students\u2019 literature. He would lend them books, organized gatherings at his apartment, and checked to see if they had proper lodgings, food, and money. Among them were: Kazys Brad\u016bnas, Vytautas Ma\u010dernis, and Bronius Krivickas.<\/p>\n

The priest realized that at that time, a small group of Lithuanian intelligentsia needed to be created, organized, and maintained. He was particularly concerned about the student ateitininkai groups, where public issues were addressed. Fr. Lipni\u016bnas noted that groups that had a permanent guardian functioned best, and they included university professors and researchers. The priest worked hard to ensure that the student ateitininkai were accompanied by the academic elite, because he himself was a man with an extensive education, read a great deal, and had a large library.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

The House of Kazys Brad\u016bnas <\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Lithuanian poet, prose writer, ateitininkas Kazys Brad\u016bnas lived in this house from 1992 to the time of his death. Both Brad\u016bnas and his wife Kazimiera Brad\u016bnien\u0117, were friends of Fr. Alfonsas. She shared in her memoir that during the German occupation, he helped prepare food packages and distributed them to the poor.<\/p>\n

Kazimiera Brad\u016bnien\u0117 also shared another living memory about the always hurrying Fr. Lipni\u016bnas in Vilnius \u201cI once met <\/em>Fr. Lipni\u016bnas rushing on Did\u017eioji gatve.We greeted each other and he said: \u2018My head is pounding, I\u2019m heading to the hills to relax. I can\u2019t cover all of these problems. Recently, there was this poor woman with a bad toothache, and I had to cure her.\u2019 <\/em>Of course he didn\u2018t treat her, but he probably took whatever money he had in his pocket, and sent her to the doctor. His door was always open for everyone \u2013 from people with toothache, to people with very serious problems. I fondly remember that during my engagement to Kazimieras on March 4th, 1943, during the feast of St. Casimir, he held Holy Mass at The Gate of Dawn. He said that he wanted to officiate at our wedding, but on March 17th, disturbing news reached Vilnius. Fr. Lipni\u016bnas had been arrested by the Gestapo.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

Church Heritage Museum<\/h6>\n

Bernardine Monastery Near the Church of St. Michael the Archangel <\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This Church is included as part of the following itineraries:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The Way of Mercy<\/a>\u00a0ir Cathedral. Bell Tower. Treasury<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

During the German occupation, between 1942 and 1944, the Lithuanian Priest\u2019s Seminary was located in the premises of the former Bernardine Monastery in Vilnius, where Fr. Lipni\u016bnas taught. The seminary was established by the initiative of Archbishop Me\u010dislovas Reinys.<\/p>\n

In 1942, German authorities responded to the Polish resistance movement, and arrested and expelled Romualdas Jalbatkovsky Archbishop of Vilnius, whose office was taken over by Archbishop Reinys. The Polish Seminary was also prohibited from operating, and was taken over by Lithuanians in the autumn of 1942. There was a dining room, a studio, a kitchen, a room for the rector and the steward in the building, and the seminarians lived in the Carmelite Monastery near St. Teresa\u2019s Church. The Soviets returned replacing the Nazi regime, Archbishop Jalbatkovsky returned to the seminary, and returned it to St. George\u2019s Church, its previous location. In 1945, the Soviets closed the seminary permanently. Today, the Church Heritage Museum<\/a> is located in St. Michael the Archangel Church and Bernardine Monastery.<\/p>\n

Archbishop Reinys had planned to appoint Fr. Lipni\u016bnas as Rector of the Lithuanian Priest\u2019s Seminary, but at that time, there was a circle of priests who were critical of him. So, Father Ladas Tulaba from Kaunas was appointed to the position instead.<\/p>\n

Fr. Lipni\u016bnas taught four subjects at the seminary: sociology, pastoral theology, ethics and catechism. He was a strong sociologist who was well-versed in the subject, and pastoral theology was still a new, little-known area for him. Unlike other instructors, during lectures he did not refer to a textbook, but rather talked more about current issues, discussed what was in the press with students, and drew conclusions from that, based on his experience. Clerics were affected not only by Fr. Lipni\u016bnas\u2019 teaching, but also by his courage, and the simplicity of his personality.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

The Church of St. Johns<\/span><\/b><\/h6>\n

A Chapel is Dedicated to the Memory of Father Alfonsas <\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Lipni\u016bnas<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This Church is included as part of the following itineraries:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The Way of Mercy,<\/a>\u00a0Jesuits in Vilnius<\/a> ir Places of Marian Devotion<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Fr. Lipni\u016bnas served at the Church of St. Johns in Vilnius from 1940\u20131943. This church was distinguished between the interwar period as a gathering place for intelligentsia, elite representatives, and people from the university. Understanding the dangers of atheistic ideology promoted by the Soviets, there was a need for strategic points where a strong and courageous voice of the truth of faith could be heard even in difficult political conditions.<\/p>\n

Crowds of people \u2013 university lecturers, professors, students, Catholics, Protestants, and even those from the left-wing gathered to listen to Fr. Lipni\u016bnas. His homilies sounded like bold resolute words, encouraging hope, and enthusiasm to work and sacrifice. \u201cHis words drew the listener with such a great internal force that he could not miss a beat. The listener went along with the homilist and admired the heights together,\u201d wrote Julius Kakarieka about his immediate impressions.<\/p>\n

During the totalitarian occupation, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas risked saying his homilies publicly, speaking the words of real truth. He spoke from the pulpit at St. John\u2019s for three years, and intrigued the crowds because he found a style which security bodies could not attack. Nevertheless, the Soviet Government was very interested in the Church of St. Johns. The secret police interrogated Fr. Lipni\u016bnas twice, but since he was well-known and respected, his arrest would have caused a significant protest by the people of Vilnius. In the summer of 1941, when deportations were taking place, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas had been placed on a secondary list, and was not deported, as the Soviet regime was soon replaced by the Nazis. Hence, he was able to continue preaching from the pulpit for almost two years, telling people how important it was to remain in the truth.<\/p>\n

Toward the end of the German occupation, the significance of St. Johns Church became less important. From 1943, the activity of the Lithuanian underground became more active, illegal publications were widely distributed \u2013 proclamations, edicts, newspapers, etc. So, there were other possibilities to develop the resistance of the nation, and the spirit of the fight.<\/p>\n

In 2016, the Chapel of Father Alfonsas Lipni\u016bnas was consecrated in the Church of St. Johns. It was dedicated to the needs of the academic soul at Vilnius University.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

Former Little Jewish Ghetto <\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

In 1939, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas came to Vilnius. Undoubtedly, he met Jews on the streets of Vilnius, in cafes and theaters, and heard the Yiddish language. At that time, about 60,000 Jews lived in Vilnius. The Nazi occupation of Lithuania started in 1941, and thus began the extermination of the majority of the Jewish population. Fr. Lipni\u016bnas regularly walked past the small Jewish ghetto territory, bordered by \u017dyd\u0173 g., Gaono g., Stikli\u0173 g. and Antakolskio g. About 11,000 people lived there. The majority of these were representatives of intelligentsia, and those who were not suitable for work, for example: the sick, elderly, and children. For Fr. Lipni\u016bnas, the Jewish ghetto was not an imaginary, but a living reality. He knew what the people living in the ghetto experienced. In his homilies, he criticized those who took over Jewish apartments, committed robberies, and confiscated belongings.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

Stefanija Ladigien\u0117\u2019s Apartment<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

As Stefanija Vanagait\u0117 remembers, she often passed Fr. Alfonsas on Dominikon\u0173 g. on her way to lectures at Vilnius University. After morning Mass, he would often be rushing to meet somebody or to attend a meeting, and often visited the home of Stefanija Ladigien\u0117 and her family, on Trak\u0173 g. 11.<\/p>\n

Stefanija Ladigien\u0117 was a famous publicist, public figure, educator, and a member of ateitininkai. After the Soviet Government arrested her husband Kazys, who was a military officer, she moved to Vilnius together with her older children, and settled on Trak\u0173 g. Her apartment was on the third floor, in the current reading room of A. Mickevicius Library. During WWII, many people gathered in her home including: Lithuanian intelligentsia, clergy, and educators. Groups would gather in which various aid was organized, Laisv\u0117s Fondas (the Freedom Fund) met there, and campaigns for Jewish children were organized. Among the frequent guests of Ladigien\u0117 were: the Archbishop of Vilnius Me\u010dislovas Reinys, Fr. Alfonsas Lipni\u016bnas, Fr. Ladas Tulaba, poet Faustas Kir\u0161a, and Juozas Keliuotis. After the war \u2013 writer Balys Sruoga, and the servant of God, Adel\u0117 Dirsyt\u0117<\/a>, who lived in the apartment for some time. Stefanija Ladigien\u0117’s home became a refuge for the young Jewish girl Irena Veisait\u0117.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

Fr. Lipni\u016bnas was invited to say homilies during retreats at Vilnius Cathedral, and in the rectory (currently the parish house) where Fr. Lipni\u016bnas would meet with high school aged youth. Those who remember the encounters say that they forgot they were interacting with a priest. They could speak simply and openly, on everyday terms.<\/p>\n

At the Archcathedral, we are reminded of a very important friendship that existed between Fr. Lipni\u016bnas and the Archbishop of Vilnius Me\u010dislovas Reinys. With the assistance of the Archbishop, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas was able to organize aid, maintain the activity of Laisv\u0117s Fondas, and to teach at the temporary location of Vilnius\u2019 Priest\u2019s Seminary, which was established by the Archbishop.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

Museum of Occupation and Freedom Fights<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Fr. Lipni\u016bnas was arrested by the Nazi Gestapo at his home on Au\u0161ros Vart\u0173 g. on March 17th<\/sup>, 1943. Vilnius Seminary Rector Fr. Tulaba had received a secret report regarding the detention of Lipni\u016bnas and two other lay people the prior evening. When the rector came to Fr. Lipni\u016bnas and urged him to flee, the answer was: \u201cI\u2019m not running!\u201d After his arrest, Archbishop M. Reinys attempted to contact German officer Von Staten, who was responsible for religious affairs. However, at that time, it was not possible to reach him. Nobody knew where Fr. Lipni\u016bnas was, and what awaited him.<\/p>\n

On March 26th<\/sup>, 1943, together with 46 other Lithuanian intelligentsia, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas reached the Stutthof Concentration Camp, where he received a political prisoner’s mark. He was imprisoned there for two years, and risked his life serving as a chaplain at the concentration camp. He offered Holy Mass, secretly administered the Holy Sacraments, and listened to Confession. On January 25, 1945, as the Soviet Army was approaching, the prisoners of Stutthof were evacuated, and were led toward the seaport. Today, this journey is called “the Road of Death”. Thanks to fate, several Lithuanian prisoners including Fr. Lipni\u016bnas and Fr. Stasys Yla, managed to hide in Pucko near Gdansk. Unfortunately, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas did not regain his freedom in this world. Completely weakened, and weighing barely 30 kg, Fr. Lipni\u016bnas contracted typhus and pneumonia. His light was extinguished on March 28th<\/sup>, 1945.<\/p>\n

Up until today, it is not known where Fr. Lipni\u016bnas was being held after his arrest. Were the prisoners that were arrested on that night transferred to Kaunas, or did they spend several days at the former Gestapo headquarters in Vilnius before their departure to Stutthof? The Museum of Occupation and Freedom Fights honors martyrs of the faith. The 11th<\/sup>cell on the lower level of the museum is also called the Bishops’ Chamber. Bishop Borisevi\u010dius, Archbishop Reinys, the Blessed Bishop Matulionis, and Archbishop Ramanauskas are remembered there. Pope Francis prayed in the cell during his visit to Lithuania.<\/p>\n

The monument in the square in front of the museum commemorates the victims of the occupation, and is one of the first monuments to be created in Vilnius after the restoration of Lithuania’s independence on March 11th, 1990. During his visit to Lithuania in 2018, Pope Francis finished his official visit with a prayer at this monument.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?\u201d (Mt 27:47)<\/em><\/p>\n

Your call, Lord, does not stop sounding and echoing between these walls, which resemble the suffering endured by many sons of this nation. Lithuanians and people from many different nations experienced physical violence by those who sought to control everything.<\/em><\/p>\n

Your call, Lord, hears the cry of the innocent, which merges with your voice and rises to heaven. This is the Good Friday of pain and bitterness, abandonment and helplessness, cruelty and futility that this Lithuanian nation survived against the unmanageable, hardened and blinding ambition of the heart. <\/em><\/p>\n

In this commemorative place, we pray to you, Lord, that your call will keep us awake. That your call, O Lord, should free us from spiritual disease, which as a nation, we are constantly tempted with: To forget our parents and what many of them have lived through and suffered for.<\/em><\/p>\n

In your call, and that of our parents who have suffered a great deal in life, we can discover the courage to commit decisively to the present and future: That this call would be an incentive not to adapt to the simplified current day fashionable slogans, and to any attempts to diminish and deprive any person of the dignity you have invested in him.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lord, let your Lithuania be a beacon of hope. May it remain a land in active memory, renewing the commitment to fight against any injustice. Let it encourage creative endeavors to defend the rights of all people, especially those who are powerless and vulnerable. And also to be a teacher of the harmony of reconciliation and differences.<\/em> Lord, do not let us be deaf to the call of those who are persistently calling out for heaven today. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]
