2007-07-04 THE CORONATION OF MINDAUGAS (THE DAY OF STATEHOOD)
This is the holiday of the coronation of Lithuania’s only king, Mindaugas, – the Day of Statehood. To perpetuate his merits a bridge over the Neris River, named after him, has been built. During the events held to commemorate that day, courtyards, squares and concert halls of the Old Town of Vilnius are crammed with people. Music is played everywhere, Lithuania’s majestic past and its age-old traditions of statehood are recalled.
