Discover the vibrant traditions of Užgavėnės, a beloved Lithuanian festival celebrated on the eve of Ash Wednesday! This lively event, akin to Mardi Gras and Carnaval, marks the transition from winter to spring with colorful rituals and festivities.
Join us as we delve into the customs of Užgavėnės, where an effigy of winter, known as Morė, is ceremoniously burned to symbolize the triumph of spring over the cold season. Witness the spirited battle between Lašininis, representing winter, and Kanapinis, embodying spring, as they engage in a symbolic clash.
Throughout the festivities, revelers don intricate costumes portraying devils, witches, goats, and other whimsical characters, adding to the joyful atmosphere. Indulge in the traditional holiday dish of pancakes adorned with an array of toppings, while immersing yourself in the merriment of this cultural celebration.
Experience the magic of Užgavėnės and embrace the spirit of renewal as we bid farewell to winter and welcome the arrival of spring in Lithuania!
