JSON · Add to calendar

1. Thu, 01 Jan 2026New Year's Day

   Lithuania's supplied 2026 calendar lists 1 January as Naujieji metai (New Year's Day) and classifies it as public. The date is the first day of the Gregorian calendar year, a fixed point in that calendar. The contextual source describes New Year's Day as widely observed internationally, but does not document particular Lithuanian customs. The calendar listing supports its inclusion here; it does not specify which services, if any, close.

2. Mon, 16 Feb 2026Day of restoration of the Lithuanian state

   Lithuania's supplied calendar lists 16 February as Lietuvos valstybės atkūrimo diena, translated here as the Day of restoration of the Lithuanian state, and classifies it as public. No contextual account accompanies this entry, so the material supplied does not verify the historical event behind the name or explain the holiday's legal basis. This entry therefore records the date and designation without adding an unverified account of its origins or observance.

3. Wed, 11 Mar 2026Day of Restoration of Independence of Lithuania

   Lithuania's 2026 calendar lists 11 March as Lietuvos nepriklausomybės atkūrimo diena (Day of Restoration of Independence of Lithuania) and marks it public. The supplied context connects the observance with the 1990 Act of the Re-Establishment of the State of Lithuania and places it among three principal national dates, alongside 16 February and 6 July. The context's description of the adopting body is not repeated here; that detail merits confirmation from an official historical source.

4. Sun, 05 Apr 2026Easter Sunday

   Lithuania's supplied 2026 calendar lists 5 April as Velykos (Easter Sunday) and classifies it as public. The contextual excerpt attached to this entry describes Easter Monday instead, so it does not substantiate background about Easter Sunday or Lithuanian observance. This entry is therefore limited to the calendar's date, name, and classification. A relevant Lithuanian church calendar or official holiday source would be needed to verify additional local context and the legal scope.

5. Mon, 06 Apr 2026Easter Monday

   Lithuania's 2026 calendar lists 6 April as Antroji Velykų diena (Easter Monday) and classifies it as public. The supplied contextual source describes Easter Monday as the second day of Eastertide. It also notes that the day is a public holiday in many predominantly Christian countries, though that broad description does not establish particular Lithuanian practices. The calendar supports the date and classification; it does not specify closures or other practical effects in Lithuania.

6. Fri, 01 May 2026Labour Day

   Lithuania's supplied calendar lists 1 May as Tarptautinė darbo diena (Labour Day) and marks it public. The contextual source explains that Labour Day is linked with International Workers' Day on 1 May in most countries. It also describes the wider labour-movement background of the date, including the eight-hour-day movement. These are general historical and international details; the supplied material does not establish distinctive Lithuanian customs or spell out the holiday's legal provisions.

7. Wed, 24 Jun 2026Midsummer Day

   Lithuania's 2026 calendar lists 24 June as Rasos ir Joninių diena (Midsummer Day) and classifies it as public. The supplied contextual source describes European midsummer celebrations as taking place on or near the northern summer solstice, traditionally reckoned in much of Europe around 23–24 June. It mentions seasonal gatherings and other customs in a general European context; it does not verify which practices are specifically Lithuanian. The calendar establishes the local listing and date, not a detailed account of observance.

8. Mon, 06 Jul 2026National Day

   Lithuania's supplied 2026 calendar lists 6 July as Valstybės diena (National Day) and classifies it as public. No contextual source accompanies this entry, so the supplied evidence does not explain the specific historical event associated with the date or provide a legal citation. This entry records the calendar's designation without adding an unverified historical account. An official Lithuanian history source and the applicable public-holiday provisions would help establish those details.

9. Sat, 15 Aug 2026Assumption Day

   Lithuania's supplied calendar lists 15 August as Žolinė (Assumption Day) and classifies it as public. The contextual source describes the Assumption of Mary as a Catholic dogma concerning Mary being taken body and soul into heaven, and identifies 15 August as its celebration date. That source also notes related observances in other Christian traditions. It does not explain the Lithuanian name Žolinė or document particular local customs, so no Lithuania-specific practice is inferred here.

10. Sun, 01 Nov 2026All Saints' Day

    Lithuania's 2026 calendar lists 1 November as Visų šventųjų diena (All Saints' Day) and marks it public. The supplied contextual source describes the day as a Christian observance in honor of all the saints and notes that 1 November became established in Western Christian practice. It also discusses cemetery customs in places where the day is a public holiday, but does not establish specific Lithuanian practices. The calendar confirms the Lithuanian date and listing, not the details of local observance.

11. Mon, 02 Nov 2026All Souls' Day

    Lithuania's supplied 2026 calendar lists 2 November as Vėlinės (All Souls' Day) and classifies it as public. The contextual source describes the observance as a Christian day of prayer and remembrance for the faithful departed, following All Saints' Day on 1 November in Western Christian practice. It also mentions grave-visiting and prayer in some communities, but does not confirm particular Lithuanian customs. The calendar supports the local date and classification; it does not specify legal details or closures.

12. Thu, 24 Dec 2026Christmas Eve

    Lithuania's 2026 calendar lists 24 December as Šv. Kūčios (Christmas Eve) and classifies it as public. The supplied contextual source describes Christmas Eve as the day or evening before Christmas, the Christian festival commemorating the birth of Jesus. It notes that Christmas celebrations in Western Christianity have often begun on Christmas Eve, including evening prayers in some churches. Those details are general rather than Lithuania-specific; the supplied evidence does not describe local customs or the legal effects of the public-holiday listing.

13. Fri, 25 Dec 2026Christmas Day

    Lithuania's supplied 2026 calendar lists 25 December as Šv. Kalėdos (Christmas Day) and marks it public. The contextual source identifies Christmas as the Christian festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ and describes Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as culturally significant in many places. It does not provide details about Lithuanian-specific observance. The calendar supports the date, name, and public classification, but does not establish which services close or set out the legal provisions governing the day.

14. Sat, 26 Dec 20262nd Day of Christmas

    Lithuania's supplied 2026 calendar lists 26 December as the 2nd Day of Christmas and classifies it as public. It gives the local name Šv. Kalėdos, also supplied for 25 December. No contextual source accompanies this entry, so the material does not verify a distinct Lithuanian name, explain the day's religious or historical significance, or provide its legal basis. This entry preserves the calendar's wording without assuming why the local-name field is repeated.
