Some pictures of our Halloween, We don't celebrate Halloween but we like pumpkin carving.
Hello, My name is Mantė. One week Mickey was my best friend.
We celebrate the 1st of November. In Lithuania, remembrance of the dead took place during all annual feast days. Come autumn, when all work was done, Lithuanians carried out special rituals honoring the souls of their dead ancestors. In ancient writings this ritual is called " Ilgës", pangs of love or longings. The ritual traditions of the dead were directly related to peoples' belief that on that day the souls of the dead return to earth, to their homes. After the parish priest blessed all the candles, people carried them away, placing a candle on their family grave. It was thought that those souls who did not ascend to heaven, roam about in perpetual darkness and for this reason lighted candles were placed on grave sites to light the way for them. On All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, year after year, Lithuanian gravesites are decorated with most beautiful flowers and burning candles.
Mickey and Mantė put candles on a family grave. We like this tradition.
Shh, after school we were a little bit tired.
This is my dog Taira. Taira is just 6 months old.
