Accepted Paper:
Real holiday? Pandemic Easter - Lithuanian case
Žilvytis Šaknys
(Institute of Lithuanian History)
Paper short abstract:
Easter in Lithuania differed from the previous years in 2020. It was a time of quarantine and strict prohibitions. My goal is to understand how the celebration of the holiday changed and whether such changes allowed people to perceive Easter 2020 as a “real” holiday.
Paper long abstract:
For many Lithuanians, Easter is the second most important holiday. The first Day of it is celebrated with family and relatives, while the second Day is celebrated with friends. This holiday in Vilnius and other areas of Lithuania in 2020 differed from the previous year. It was a time of quarantine and strict prohibitions. Churches were closed and people could not celebrate together with their parents or relatives, living outside the city. My goal is, using data of semi-structured interview, to compare Easter in 2019 and 2020, while trying to understand how the celebration of the holiday had changed and whether such changes allowed people to perceive Easter 2020 as a “real” holiday.
