Regional/Cultural Day
La VÃa Báltica
Not a holiday, but the anniversary of the August 23, 1989 Baltic Way, when 2 million people joined hands in a human chain that stretched 600 km from Tallinn to Vilnius. The chain was a protest against the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (which had divided the Baltic states between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany), and it was one of the most powerful demonstrations of peaceful resistance in history. The day is observed with the lighting of candles along the route, and the candles burn in the windows of every Lithuanian home.
