Christmas trees lit in Lithuanian cities, resorts
Lithuania's major cities and resorts last weekend kicked off the holidays
season with Christmas tree lighting celebrations, writes LETA/BNS.
Two Christmas trees were lit in the port city of Klaipeda: a 12-meter-high
spruce in the Old Town's Teatro (Theater) Square and a 20-meter-high
"golden tree" made up of almost 3,500 "golden" artificial
spruce branches in Atgimino Square.
Kaunas' main Christmas Tree in the city's Town Hall Square is decorated
with programmable bubbles that are remotely controlled and can change colors.
What makes the tree special is that spent coffee grounds are used to produce
energy for its lighting.
Saturday's Christmas tree lighting ceremonies in Klaipeda and Kaunas were
followed by firework shows and concerts.
