All Souls‘ Day
The Canticles' Evening will present the tradition of "kantička"
We invite you to commemorate the Octave of All Saints with the sounds of the old-time Lithuanian hymns – "kantičkos" – sung by the traditional chants ensemble "Bromos". The Canticles' Evening will take place on 4 November after the Holy Mass at 18.30 at the All Saints' Church in Vilnius.
Let's sing longing. Songs for the spirits
According to the old Lithuanian worldview, spirits - the souls of relatives who have left us - always live here, among us. Late fall was considered the time of the spirits when those who are gone get closer to the living. Although the dead were not only remembered between October and November, they were the focus of attention at that time, when the fieldwork is done, the days are shortened and all the nature is no longer alive.
