People in costumes of devils, witches, goats and others visit homes, act, sing, dance. In the evening the old maid More (a creature made of straw), the winter symbol is burned. St. Casimir's Day is marked annually with Kaziuko trade fair. The traditional Easter celebration is famous for its ornated Easter eggs and Easter palms.
