Antanas Strazdas

Antanas Strazdas was born on 9 March 1760 in Margėnai, near Rokiškis, into a family of poor serfs. After leaving the Varniai seminary in 1789, he moved as a priest from one parish to another before settling in Kamajai in 1820. Suspended in 1828 for conduct judged contrary to his station, he was confined in the Pažaislis monastery, which he left of his own accord the following year. He also wrote in Polish an ode to the city of Riga, saw another collection stopped by the censors, and died in Kamajai on 23 April 1833.
