Do you remember Easter in the village – when the yard smelled of spring in the rays of the festive morning frost, and the little ones secretly looked for Easter gifts? When the table was covered with a white tablecloth, and eggs – colored or wax-printed – proudly decorated the table and each egg became a meaning of the holiday? How deliciously the festive meals prepared by grandmothers smelled, and the family joyfully gathered together, missing each other?
We invite you to revive such a festive mood, memories and traditions at the Open Air Museum of Lithuania on April 6, the second day of Easter, 12 a.m.!
