Mindaugo Karūnavimas

The coronation of Mindaugas is the founding myth of Lithuania, and the day is a reminder that Lithuania was once the largest state in Europe (the Grand Duchy of Lithuania stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea). The day is observed with historical reenactments, the raising of the medieval Lithuanian flag (a white knight on a red shield, called Vytis), and the singing of the national anthem.

Valstybės Diena

The anniversary of the coronation of King Mindaugas on July 6, 1253, which is considered the founding of the Lithuanian state. Mindaugas was the first and only king of Lithuania, and his coronation is the earliest recorded event in Lithuanian history. The day is observed with ceremonies, and at 9 PM, Lithuanians around the world sing the national anthem simultaneously. The singing is a tradition that was started in 2009, and it is one of the most moving moments of the year.
