What threatens a citizen who carried the church penis?

A meter high, seventy centimeters wide, a bronze bell weighing two hundred and sixty kilograms is now standing in a customs hangar.

« At the post office of the Salcininkai Road, the customs officers checked the entering Lithuania from the Belarusian minibus. The citizen declared that he had nothing to be declared, but officials found a hidden under the bags, in our view, a unique item – penis church, » said Gedminas Kulikauskas.

Such a find is really very rare, and since it was secretly carried, it was immediately confiscated.

« There have been suspicions that a cultural value may be carried out in Ukraine may be carried out. In such cases, detention is inevitable because it is necessary to check.

LNK stop shot.

Cultural heritage specialists very quickly realized that this bell was not the subject of Lithuanian cultural heritage.

« It was found that the bell was performed in January 2024 and was possibly dedicated to Chisinov Church, which is currently being managed, » explained Remigijus Grėbliūnas, Chief Specialist of the Department of Cultural Heritage.

The customs spokesman says that if the man who had carried the penis had declared him, he would have avoided problems. Now he will probably have to pay twice for this penis.

The fine is at risk of 3 to 6 thousand. euros. The bell was estimated at 6 thousand. euros.

« It is likely that the museum may be handed over, but rather, it may be auctioned, » said G. Kulikauskas.

So a man who carried the penis will probably be able to try to buy it. In any case, the losses are large. Neither customs or cultural connoisseurs understand why they were being used secretly.

« People should be asked, because there are certainly no problems with opening Lithuania to Chisinau, I think it was not, » said R. Grėbliūnas.

« People are probably very rarely held in their hands, maybe they thought there could be some problems in the formation of a permit and decided to take risks, and we see the result, » said Ethnologist and science historian Libert Klimka.

According to the ethnologist, there are not many bells in Lithuania, and those who are still present have a very high cultural value.

« Our bells are not written in a separate register, so there are bells, especially from the bells or cemetery chapels.

Testing secretly transporting historical values ​​is less rare. Five years ago, a man tried to remove Greek and Roman helmets and shin guards. These values ​​were confiscated and transferred to the Lithuanian National Museum.
