http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/europe/lithuania/culture.htm

Extractions: Lithuania 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.

Extractions: Nature has been generous to Lithuania. Although there are no mountains or great forests, the country's beauty lies in the diversity of its landscape. This is a place of rolling hills and gentle plains; of quietly flowing rivers and of lakes which reflect the blueness of the sky. The largest river, the Nemunas, gathers and carries the waters of many tributaries to the Baltic Sea, wherein lies Lithuania's famous "amber coast". Called the Curonian Spit, it is a sixty mile-long bank of sand dunes and pine trees which stretches from the southwest to the seaport of Klaipëda and encloses the vast Curonian Lagoon. For centuries, amber, Lithuania's precious harvest of the sea, has been washed onto these golden sands.

Extractions: 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.

http://www.randburg.com/li/general/general_14.html

Extractions: 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.

Balts The Balts or Baltic peoples have lived around the eastern coast of Mare Suebicum, or Baltic Sea (Tacitus, AD 98) since ancient times. The Baltic peoples consisted of several tribes. Some of these, such as the Old Prussians, no longer exist independently. Lithuania and Latvia are modern nations formed by Baltic peoples. The languages of the Balts are called Baltic languages and are members of the Indo-European language family. Those languages are Lithuanian, Latvian and extinct Old Prussian and Curonian. Click the link for more information. , the ancestors of Lithuanians The earliest evidence of inhabitants in present-day Lithuania dates back to 10,000 BC. Between 3,000-2,000 BC, the cord-ware culture people spread over a vast region of eastern Europe, between the Baltic Sea and the Vistula River in the West and the Moscow-Kursk line in the East. Merging with the indigenous population, they gave rise to the Balts, a distinct Indo-European ethnic group whose descendants are the present-day Lithuanian and Latvian nations and Prussians (who are no longer independent). The name "Lietuva", or Lithuania, might be derived from the word "lietava," for a small river, or "lietus," meaning rain (or land of rain).

Extractions: The Vilnius Yiddish Institute The VILNIUS YIDDISH INSTITUTE is the first Yiddish center of higher learning to be established in post-Holocaust Eastern Europe. It is an integral part of the five-century-old Vilnius University, situated in the heart of the magnificently restored old city, in a thriving new democracy. The Institute is dedicated to preserving the centuries-old heritage of Yiddish language and culture through teaching and scholarly research of the highest quality. Further, through intensive instruction by an outstanding international faculty the Institute aims to foster genuine literacy in Yiddish among new generations of students from Europe, the Americas, and beyond, and to train young new teachers and scholars in the field. Finally, inspired by its unique location in Vilna, the once fabled Jerusalem of Lithuania, the Institute cherishes the hope of nurturing new cultural contributions in Yiddish. Each August, the Institute offers the intensive four-week Vilnius Summer Program in Yiddish Language and Culture, attended by some seventy participants from around the world. During the academic year, it provides a rich selection of credit courses in Yiddish and East European Jewish Studies. Its first major research project is a series of expeditions to seek out and videotape the last native speakers of Yiddish, Holocaust survivors in their 80s and 90s, who still live in their hometowns in Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine. These materials form the nucleus of the Vilnius Yiddish Archive. The Institute also provides seminars and lectures, and is planning a new intensive Yiddish Teachers Training Program and other major projects.

http://www.omnitel.net/ramunas/Lietuva/lt_culture.shtml

Extractions: Lithuania / 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.

Extractions: Lithuania Culture / Language Useful words How Lithuanians course Lithuanian Language, language spoken by most of the inhabitants of Lithuania and by expatriates in such countries as the United States, Canada, and Australia. Lithuanian, Old Prussian, and the Latvian Language principally constitute the Baltic languages, a principal subdivision of the Indo-European languages. Lithuanian appears in two main dialect groups, Low Lithuanian (along the Baltic coast) and High Lithuanian, with further dialect subdivisions. It is considered notably pure in its retention of archaic Indo-European forms. Although a literary language had existed since the 16th century, three literary dialects competed for acceptance in the 19th century; modern Standard Lithuanian (based on the West High Lithuanian dialect) did not develop fully until just before the first period of Lithuanian political independence (1918-40), when it became the country's official language. Especially since World War II, Russian has been a major influence on Lithuanian. Lithuanian is highly inflected. In standard Lithuanian, nouns have seven cases (some dialects have eight or more). Gender is masculine and feminine, although some traces of the old neuter survive. Number is singular and plural; some dialects also have a dual number (for two items). The article is not used. Four simple verb tenses (present, preterite, frequentive past, and future) and several compounds exist in the indicative mood; imperative, subjunctive, reflexive, infinitive, and participial forms are also clearly defined.
