Lithuanian Cuisine

The products featured in Lithuanian cuisine are suited to the country's cool and moist northern climate: barley, potatoes, rye, beets, greens, berries and mushrooms are locally grown and dairy products are a specialty of the country.

Easter in Lithuania

Easter in Lithuania is, for most locals, the second biggest festival after Christmas. To this day, it is a family event that combines both Christian celebration and age-old Lithuanian tradition. According to the old ways, Easter marks the rejuvenation of nature. In years gone by, the festival had a fixed date – on the spring equinox. Around that time the temperature rises above freezing and green starts coming back into the world.
