I was just wondering, is the tradition of halloween celebrated in lithuania the same as in uk as in kids dressing up and going out "trick or treating"

How can I say "Happy Halloween" in lithuanian?

We never had it originally, but it's being "forced" upon us nowadays probably due to American cultural export .

A similar celebration that we have is called "Užgavėnės" and it takes place sometime in the end of winter (forgot the exact date ). The main accent of this celebration is burning a large doll while shouting "Žiema, žiema, bėk iš kiemo" (Winter, winter, run away!:D).

I never seen anyone saying Happy halloween here, but the kids sometime say "Apgauk arba pavaišink" ("Trick or treat") in Užgavėnės (!).

happy halloween - gero helovino! linksmo helovino!

Hello to all,

i found this site interesting and it is useful to know what is the real meaning of All Hallows Eve.

oh how interesting The lithuanians in Ireland seem to enjoy celebrating halloween but if you ask me thats only because its another excuse to have a party My little boys will be dressing up as little devils this year cute cute
Its really only for the kids they love it!!
Laimis you would make a great "frankenstein"
Orinta what can I say I think the "Little Devil" is best for you too
labai ačiū gero helovina (=helovino) visiems

Just out of interest do all lithuanians today if I have the correct date visit their loved ones who have passed away in the graveyard and light candles to remember them? how nice We dont have anything like that here

Yes, we do. Today and tomorrow. It is really nice - it is festival for souls and candle light warming up because these days are cold and windy.

Yes, it's quite a special sight, especially at night time. This day last year I left lithuania for poland hitchhiking. In the night time I saw a few graveyards along the way that were all lit up from candles. I think in poland as well they did this.

I think Palomita has the more worldwide interpretation of Halloween aside from the American tradition. The Catholic "All Saints Day" on November 1 follows Halloween that is celebrated in the United States on October 31. "All Souls Day" then comes on November 2 in memory of the faithful departed.
