This is a commemorative cancellation of the 125th anniversary of the birth of Kazimieras(Casimir) Paltarokas, who was a bishop of Panevėžys and the only left in Lithuania in 1947 at the beginning of the Soviet rule. I personally think it is very nicely designed, representing the mitre (bishop's hat).
The stamp used is also from my favorite lithuanian stamp series depicting the decoration of crosses on the top of the various monuments across the country. According to post.lt, they have been designed by V.Jasanauskas, printed in Kaunas. This series have been printed until 2006 and the 2000 issue is the very first.
