Nedėldienio skaitymas

Nedėldienio skaitymas (transl. Sunday's Reading or Reading for the Day of Rest)^[1] was a weekly Lithuanian-language Catholic newspaper published from 1905 to 1907 in Kaunas (then part of the Russian Empire).

History

With support from Bishop of Samogitia Mečislovas Leonardas Paliulionis, the first issue was published on 24 November 1905.^[2] It was one of the first legal Lithuanian periodicals after the Lithuanian press ban was lifted in 1904.^[3] It was published by the future bishop Antanas Karosas [lt] until 1906 when it was taken over by the Society of Saint Casimir and its chairman Adomas Dambrauskas-Jakštas. It was printed at the printing presses of Saliamonas Banaitis and Maksimas Sokolovskis.^[4]

The circulation was 3,800 copies in 1907. After 102 issues, the newspaper was discontinued on 4 December 1907 when it was replaced by Vienybė [lt] (Unity) which was published until 1933.^[4]

Content

Nedėldienio skaitymas was a Catholic newspaper that published news from Lithuania and abroad and practical advice about farming. It propagated Catholic ideas as well as encouraged reading and education.^[4] Researcher Darius Staliūnas described the newspaper as "probably the most notorious propagator of anti-Semitic sentiments among Lithuanians".^[1] In 1906–1907, it published religious supplement Tiesos žodis (Word of Truth) which published sermons, excerpts from the Bible, and other religious texts.^[5]
