LELIUMAI. At the Franciscan monastery and church. Excursion.
About this event
LELIUMAI - The name for Advent, which has survived the longest in the Dzūkija dialect.
One of the first churches in Kaunas, rich in surviving works of sacred art and a dramatic history. A Franciscan friar opens the doors of his home to us and allows us to reveal secrets kept for centuries.
We will also learn about the meaning of Advent candles, the significance of the wreath, the symbolism of liturgical colors, and who the pioneers of the nativity scene tradition were.
All this will be covered in a tour of the Friars Minor Franciscan sanctuary, led by guide RIMUTĖ.
