home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Lithuania Culture Lithuania has the most ethnically homogenous population of the three Baltic states. Modern Lithuanians are descended from the Balt tribes, and the Lithuanian diaspora is by far the biggest of any of the peoples of the Baltic states, mainly due to emigration for political or economic reasons in the 19th and early 20th century and during WWII. Lithuanians are stereotypically gregarious, welcoming and emotional, placing greater emphasis on contacts and favours than method and calculation. Cooler Estonians and Latvians see Lithuanians as hot-headed and unpredictable. The independence campaign of the late 1980s and early '90s illustrated the contrast between Lithuanians and their Baltic neighbours. In Lithuania the struggle was romantic, daring, cliff-hanging and risky, with at least 20 deaths. In Estonia it was gradual, calculated and bloodless, leading to the unkind saying that 'Estonians would die for their freedom - to the last Lithuanian'. Lithuanian is one of only two surviving languages of the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family. Low Lithuanian is spoken in the west and is a different dialect to High Lithuanian, which is spoken in the rest of the country. The Catholic Church is a conservative force in Lithuanian society, and its head is the Archbishop of Kaunas. Russian Orthodoxy is practised in the country, and there are also Old Believers, a sect of the Russian Orthodox church that has suffered intermittent persecution since the 17th century. There are also pagans in Lithuania, highlighted by the Romuva movement, which has congregations in Vilnius and Kaunas as well as among Lithuanian communities overseas. The movement works towards rekindling Lithuania's ancient spiritual and folklore traditions.

2. Lithuania : Culture It cannot be wiped out either by the culture of the country where we reside,by our way of life or by our Women in Transition Voices from Lithuania. http://www2.omnitel.net/ramunas/Lietuva/lt_culture.shtml

Shop www.medita.lt Medical equipment Lithuania / Culture Introduction to Culture Every national or racial group possesses both good and bad traits manifested not only in the group's individual members but as a quality common to the group as a whole. This has been noted by both scholars and ordinary people as they come into daily contact with neighbors of a particular nationality or race. These observations, somewhat elaborated upon and exaggerated, form the basis of anecdotes about one nation's foolishness, another's stinginess, a third's drunkenness and so forth. Alongside negative anecdotes, opinions are formed about the diligence, neatness, honesty and dignity of certain nationalities. Regardless of whether we like or dislike being Lithuanian, we cannot change our national origin for it has been shaped over thousands of years by the nation's way of life, environment, customs and traditions. This remains ingrained in our souls even when we intentionally or unintentionally separate ourselves from our national group. We have all inherited our nation's character. It cannot be wiped out either by the culture of the country where we reside, by our way of life or by our surroundings. Americans appear to understand this already and it is thus very common here to seek "one's roots," researching the nationality, origins, customs and traditions one's parents, grandparents and great-grandparents brought to this country so many years ago. Nearly every American can identify the nationality of his father, mother, grandfather and grandmother. This helps to explain why a particular person has a tendency toward thrift, anger, gossip, business, revenge and the like. Psychologists maintain that such knowledge of one's "roots" enables an individual to understand himself better, accept mood swings and deal more successfully with life's hardships.

Search Randburg - Search Iceland German Culture There exists a sound reason for saying that culture is the mainstay of the survival of Lithuania. The state, powerful during the Middle Ages and later weakened, was reborn with the same name in the 20th century, solely thanks to the fact that its main ethnic group, the Lithuanians, had managed to preserve their national identity, in other words their culture, language, literature, art and traditions. From this identity sprouted all the new forms of creativity, having assimilated the modernism of the 20th century and current post-modernism. The national culture and higher forms of art created on the foundation it provided, expanded and were consolidated during the interval between the two world wars. During the years of Soviet occupation, culture became a shelter of spiritual resistance. Culture assisted Lithuanians in protecting their identity. Ethnic culture was maintained and professional artistic culture was created cleverly and selflessly and often through the use of Soviet institutions. The new rebirth which commenced in 1988 was capable of delivering victory also because all of the creative forces of the nation had merged. In May 1990, immediately following the declaration of independence, the largest Cultural Congress in the history of Lithuania assembled in Vilnius. Several thousand delegates debated the status of culture and discussed the tasks the nation would encounter during the 21st century.

KAUNAS - THE CRADLE OF LITHUANIAN CULTURE AND TRADITION Lithuania's second largest city, Kaunas, is situated at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers, closer to what would be Lithuania's geographical centre. The city is an important industrial and cultural centre with an approximate population of 415,000. 16th-17th Century Residential Houses. A Historic City The earliest known references to Kaunas appear in records dating from 1361. The city's old town, picturesquely dominating the junction of two rivers, is a fascinating combination of archaeology, architecture and history. Here one finds the remains of a castle dating back to the 13th to 16th centuries standing as evidence of the ancient battles between Lithuania and the knights of the Teutonic Order. Numerous other buildings crowd together in a stimulating mixture of the arts and architecture of different eras. The 15th century produced the church of Vytautas, Saint George's church and the reconstructed Cathedral. City Hall, dating from the 16th to 18th centuries, is surrounded by charming old houses; the Perkûnas (Thunder) House dates back to the 15th century. Some of the city's structures are recognized as representing a distinct variation of the Northern European Renaissance style, notably the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Masalskis Manor complex (16th to 18th century). The Paþaislis Monastery The Baroque Era The most outstanding baroque monument is the Paþaislis monastery, a collection of buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. This is among the most lovely of examples of ecclesiastical architecture in Northern Europe, unified architecturally by its hexagonal design and a majestic cupola, with its faðade proportioned according to the principles of Italian baroque, and its interior decorated with subtly coloured frescoes and statues.
