_Advent is a special time in Lithuania. It's a time to relax and spend time with family before the feast of 12 meals starts on Christmas Eve.
It is a time for connections with our ancestors, to celebrate the life of the living and life after death.

_The Advent wreath is likely the most popular tradition, and wreaths are typically present in both the parish church and in the home. It is a more recent tradition, with the modern Advent wreath emerging in Germany and spreading throughout Europe and beyond in the 1930's. It is often circular, representing God's eternity, and it includes 4 candles - one for each Sunday of Advent. Many families have a wreath in the home, and will light the candles each Sunday and say Advent prayers together.
