Lithuanian festivals and celebrations throughout the year – how do we keep the old traditions in the modern world?
The meeting of the old and new is never easy – there are always things that clash, there are pieces that go well together, and it's sometimes difficult to understand what is what.
In this lecture, you'll learn about:
- Traditional vs. modern festivals in Lithuania;
- The differences and simialrities between Christian and old Lithuanian festivals and where do they meet;
- Wheel of the year (Rėdos ratas),
- Old Lithuanian traditions for main events of the year.

About the author

Evelina Viktorija Žemeikytė
A lecturer, genealogist, columnist, the founder of „Stiprios šaknys“ („Strong roots genealogy“), currently seeking master's degree in Baltic language and cultures. After I've been actively researching my own family history for quite some time, I've realised more and more people get interested in their heritage, but they sometimes need help navigating all the resources and getting on the right track with their research. I offer online and onsite lectures to groups and communities in Lithuanian and English, organise educational programs for school students for getting to know their ancestors, learning about researching and respecting the past and the rich heritage that is coded in our history. I also consult one-on-one. |
