The tradition of song and dance celebrations
By turning two separate panels, a flicker is created that imitates dancing in circles.
The historical center of Vilnius
In the circle a tile with a word "Stebuklas" (“Miracle”), located at Cathedral Square in Vilnius, is shown. When it is rolled three times (it is said that standing on it and turning around three times makes wishes come true), the sound of a bell is heard.
Folk songs
By spinning a circle, different words from folk songs are shown and music is played. A flower in the circle is the flower of life - an element, that symbolizes connection and commonality, which is very important in folk songs, that were sung together sitting in a circle.
