Easter in Lithuania is celebrated according to the Roman Catholic tradition. Elaborate Easter palms and
Lithuanian Easter Eggs are strong elements of Easter and symbolize the return of spring. On this holiday
the Christian elements (resurrection of Jesus Christ) merge with ancient national traditions, the rebirth of
nature. In all of Lithuania, the act of hitting Easter eggs is known and practiced, especially by men and
teenagers. Egg rolling is also popular throughout Lithuania. The egg being the symbol of life and rebirth
of nature is given special meaning in Easter traditions.
