Abstract
The subject-matter of this research is a Latin religious poetry written at the 17th century, primarily by Jesuit authors, in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The texts analysed in the paper are seen as important to the further formation of Lithuanian religious identity and its poetical expression. It is possible to trace the influence of some Baroque Latin texts, especially of those written by M. C. Sarbievius (Sarbiewski), the most popular Latin poet in Lithuania through following centuries, on the religious poetry of the 19th century. Some topics, as presented in the later religious texts and often being explained as a mere reflection of Romantic discourse, seem to be derived from the baroque expression.

Summary
Atsekti to amþiaus religinës poezijos tekstuose liudijamus krikðèioniðkosios kultûros elementus ir yra pagrindinis ðiame straipsnyje keliamas uþdavinys, kuriam ágyvendinti Sarbievijaus religinë lyrika pasirodo esanti itin palanki medþiaga. Kad Sarbievijaus tekstai raðyti lotyniðkai, tokiam poþiûriui neprieðtarauja: reikðdamasis kaip etaloninis krikðèioniðkosios Vakarø tradicijos poetas, Sarbievijus tos tradicijos poetikà tarsi verèia á savo meto kalbà, nepamirðdamas susieti jos su savo gyvenamøjø vietø kontekstu, kurá paversti savastimi, netraktuoti kaip svetimo, o jungti bendron vidinën ir iðorinën vienovën buvo vienas svarbiausiø jëzuitø veiklos bei kûrybos siekiniø ir meninës vaizduosenos principø. Pastarõsios bûta ávairiopos, taèiau vienas Romos patyrimo faktas pasirodys itin svarbus bûtent religinës Sarbievijaus poezijos raiðkai: jaunas jëzuitas poetas buvo popieþiaus Urbono VIII átrauktas á brevijoriaus himnø reformos darbus[9]. Jei ne visi pataisymai daryti Sarbievijaus: ðis himnas yra kone perraðytas ið naujo, taigi toks palyginimas gali akivaizdþiai parodyti, kà norëjosi taisyti senuosiuose himnuose jø reformuotojams)
