Christmas Eve ( on the 24th of December) Christmas Eve dinner is more important in Lithuania than Christmas dinner. Although Christmas is purely Christian Holiday, there are a lot of Pagan elements in the Lithuanian Christmas tradition. Christmas Eve is closely related with the winter solstice.

Preparation Christmas Eve is associated with cleanliness and light. Preparation for the holidays takes all day. Food is being prepared not only for the special dinner but also for the first day of Christmas. People fast and abstain from meat, so none of the 12 meals for the Christmas Eve dinner can contain meat.

Christmas Wafers Christmas wafers (often referred to as God’s Cakes) is the first Christmas Eve dinner meal. Each family member is supposed to share his/her Christmas wafer with all the other members of the family as a ritual of continuity and sharing.

Christmas Eve Dinner The table is prepared as follows: a handful of fine hay is spread evenly on the table. This is a reminder that Jesus was born in a stable and laid in a manger on hay. The table is then covered with a pure white tablecloth, set with plates and decorated with candles and small Christmas tree boughs. dinner table. A cross is an essential element on a Christmas Even

Other Dishes All the dishes are strictly meatless: fish, herring, sližikai with poppy seed milk, kisielius (cranberry pudding), a dried fruit soup, a salad of winter and dried vegetables, mushrooms, boiled or baked potatoes, sauerkraut (cooked, of course, without meat) and bread.
