I'm a muslim, and What captivated me the most are the outfits and hairdo of the newlyweds! I swear the groom's hair makes him look like a viking warrior or even actor ❤❤❤ he's like Thor's next kin to the thrown somehow. The bride is just gorgeous 😍
I used to speak Lithuanian fluently, since my elders passed away, I have no one to speak this language and I forgot a lot. The language has changed since my childhood, I don't follow the trend anymore as I never lived there. I still miss kabet Latuveske. Sveike.
Denmark, Sweden and Norway also have VERY big Pagan communities in their countries where they perform many things besides handfastings... Don't be THAT narrowminded please.
My ancestry is Lithuanian. Thank you for showing what may have been something from my very distant past. It was interesting. I do not speak the language so I lost the intent, but it looks to be a loving and benign ceremony.
This was beautiful. This made me feel more at home than any other wedding I have ever seen. It's interesting because, it also reminded me of the wedding at the end of Lord of the Rings. I guess Europeans must have some kind of ancestral memory or something. We have to bring this Pagan stuff back. Someone else in the comments said that it looked like a Hindu wedding. That's interesting, because there's a lot of archeological evidence that Hinduism was actually the creation of migrating Europeans from Ukraine. That means that Hinduism is the cousin religion of Paganism. Which is interesting. Great Vid.
So beautiful. 🌾 I feel so at home , watching & listening to this. One day I will visit. My father’s side all from Lithuania.🥀Suzanne Patricia Zemaitis-Morrow
Beyond beautiful I'm christian and marrying a pagan man, I want us now to have a pagan wedding ceremony it is so beautiful. May the gods bless you with a happy life and many babies :-)

Romuva originates from the Baltic religious tradition which is comprised of the religious heritage of Lithuanians, Latvians and Prussians. The formation of this common Baltic spiritual heritage began in the very distant Indo-European past. Baltic, or Aestian, culture appeared as distinct in the second millennium BCE. The common Baltic religious centre Romuva with its leading cleric titled Krivis was founded in Rickoyott in 521. Later other important regional Baltic religious centres called Romuvas emerged in different Baltic lands, including Lithuania. One of the most important centres of the Baltic faith was flourishing since time immemorial in the valley of Šventaragis (Holy-horn) in Vilnius. Since 1250, this centre was reformed by the will of Grand Duke Šventaragis and it became the central Baltic sanctuary in Lithuania. As the religious institutions of the Baltic faith in Lithuania started to be destroyed as part of the Christian efforts, the religious practice less and less influenced by Vaidilas was gradually focused on communal and individual cults and it was nourished up to the 20th century by means of ethnic traditions passed from generation to generation in this form. At the beginning of the 20th century, the significant value of Romuva and the Baltic faith was recognised in the works by Vydūnas. In the light of the ideas of J. Basanavičius, J. G. Beržauskis-Klausutis and others, the institutions of the Baltic faith were re-established in the pre-war independent Lithuania: the community of Romuva (public-spirited persons) was formed in 1930 and it was active until 1940, while the community of Ramuva was founded in 1967 and it was only in 1992 that Romuva was officially registered as a Baltic faith community for the first time. Romuva communities are active in the USA and Canada. At the end of 2001, three communities of the ancient Baltic faith from Vilnius, Kaunas and Molėtai officially merged into the Community of the Ancient Baltic Religion, though, in fact, these communities have been working in cooperation for ten years prior to that. All leading Krivis and Vaidilas who participated noticeably in the spiritual unification of the Baltic peoples on the religious basis and in nourishing the ancient Baltic faith are recognised as spiritual leaders of the Community of the Ancient Baltic Religion. Krivis of the Community Jonas Trinkūnas served as the spiritual leader of the Romuva religious community since 1967. In 2014, Inija Trinkūnienė was elected as the female Krivis of Romuva. Over the ages, various attempts were made to suppress the ancient Baltic faith and to terminate its practices. During the pre-war period of the Republic of Lithuania, the recognition of Romuva as an institution was halted by the Catholic Church, which had a considerable influence on both the political life and the government at that time. During the Soviet period, Romuva had to conceal its religious aspirations. Still, active Romuvians were repressed. It is only in the independent Lithuania that the communities of Romuva gained official recognition as religious communities. However, the union of the communities of Romuva, i.e. the Community of the Ancient Baltic Religion formed on 11 November 2001, is not fully recognised even today. The spiritual needs of people of our faith are met in neither secondary schools nor the Lithuanian army. The Ancient Baltic religion is a living unity of spiritual experiences and knowledge which satisfies the relevant needs of members of the community. It is a shifting and adaptive combination. The main historical shifts in the religious doctrine of the Baltic faith are covered most comprehensively in “Religious Reforms of the Balts” by G. Beresnevičius (1995) and “The Worldview of the Ancient Balts” by N. Vėlius (1983). The fostering of doctrines of the faith is currently in the hands of the Circle of Vaidilas and Krivulė.
you just wrote down the same thing the other guy has written and you call me a sheep XD you don't know anything about Christianity or its philosophy you are atheist and you don't really believe in the "gods" of Europe tell me which gods of Europe are true gods is the Slavic gods the Roman or Norse will you kill each other to prove who is superior like before Christ or will genocide your self like the Romans did to the Celts your gods are gods of war and blood they demand you to do .I will be honest I don't know anything about the Romuna gods however I assume they are similar like the Norse roman and Slavic god which they are not so peaceful as you hippies want to portend they are
Stripes So you are a Christian aren't you? I didn't call anyone in name initially though. Those battles and genocides are history. Do you think Europeans will fight each other after their traditional religions get revived? For god's sake, the majority of European teens nowadays don't even know their own tradition. They only play video games, play pokemon go, worship foreign culture and become weeaboos everyday!! They will fall to sleep if you talk about their ancestors, clans, folklore, mother nature, heritage, usage of plants!
I am open to all religions. Religion is based on philosophy. Therefore, I am not loyal to one confession. I go to all churches and masses just to learn something new. Most importantly, I would be a good priest, pop, mula and others. As one pop told me. No matter what you worship and which confession you belong to. The most important thing is to find goodness in yourself and help others.
Philosophy came from religion, not the other way around. Religion is merely a path set by ancestors who cared so their descendants could fi d a soietually fulfilling way to experience the world. It's not intellectual/philosophic. It is about the experience.
Similar to Hindu Wedding, Keep your Tradition. Tradition gives identity for person, to know his streanth and weakness. It make person live meaningfully.
Lovely. It's almost like some Indian Hindu wedding. India has different customs in different states but the core sentiment is same. This wedding is having same core sentiment. We were one world before Christianity and Islam destroyed all peaceful native cultures. Song is so pleasant, I don't understand its meaning but love to hear it.
It's very sad to see how many traditional European cultures have been destroyed by abrahamic religions. I am not against any religions, people have freedom of religions but it would be a better for roman empire without Christianity. Christianity destroyed many Greek roman arts, temples, monuments and greek and roman religions. Old gods are very true to us. Gods didn't abandon us, only we abandoned the gods. But it's time to back to them.
The origin of the wedding ring comes from a Roman belief that that ring finger has a vain that is directly connected to the heart. The wedding rings directly connects your soul with your partner's soul
All peoples were once Pagan, but it doesn't make Paganism innocent. People fought, conquered, sacrificed, and forced their way on people long before Christianity. All good things can be used for bad just look at Islam today
angelique johnson Nope.Actually archeology and anthropology shows there were NEVER any wars over paganism or polytheism.Yes the pagans warred but NEVER over religions.
angelique johnson And another extremely negative person in the internet. Go do something with your life... And to reply to your comment. You are absolutely wrong in all aspects in that comment.
angelique johnson let's rate each belief with being civilized to outright evil. End of the day what matters is how we connect to each other as civilized humans. I enjoyed this video and the diverse practice in present day Europe.
Wars due to religion started because of monotheism, when people started to say that,"my god is better and superior than your god". Wouldn't it be good if everyone prayed to their own Gods.
" The Latin term paganismus was first used in the 4th century, by early Christian community, in reference to populations of the Roman world who worshipped many deities, either because they were increasingly rural and provincial relative to the Christian population or else because they were not milites Christi (soldiers of Christ).[1][4] In and after the Middle Ages, paganism was a pejorative that was applied to any non-Abrahamic or unfamiliar religion, and the term presumed a belief in false god(s).[6][7] " Paganism = Anything that's not Abrahamic religion
Lithuanian paganism was the official religion of medieval Lithuania until 1387 and 1413 depending on the region and remained popular among the peasantry far longer than the other paganisms, and since the population was a mix of Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Baltic pagans for so long the nation never developed the same sort of persecution complex as the rest of Europe. Whether today's Lithuanian priests have an unbroken line is debatable, but what isn't is that the information on their original faith(s) is much more recent and available making reconstructing their religion much easier. Not all paganisms are the same.

I am so glad that at least one nation in this rotten Europe has not forgot their old gods and old ways.
Common panganculture is growing again and more and more people getting interested again... And sorry thats the way of history ..
Denmark, Sweden and Norway also have VERY big Pagan communities in their countries where they perform many things besides handfastings... Don't be THAT narrowminded please.
Ouch, paganism is global. Just cause you don't see it in pop culture doesn't mean it's not there. Lol
"Where the old gods rule, old customs linger"
@Sarmatan Lehitus sorry but everything still smells of paganism just it Lithuania ;)
Šaunuoliai. Tikėkimės ateis laikai kai mūsų tauta praregės ir vėl garbins savo dievus ....

Christianity is like McDonald of religions where as Paganism is a fine cuisine gourmet feast.
Not really. Paganism is heartwarming home cook cuisine. Mums cook the best!

Strips Christianity is just fast food junk extensively forcefeeds ignorant and soulless sheeps

Beautiful. Surprising not see Agni/Fire Altar. For non-abrahamic rituals, fire altar is a must.
Ačiū! Tai nuostabu! Nepaisydama metų vis dar pasvajoju apie "...Mudu AbuDu..."
This is a beautiful wedding ceremony. Does anyone know what piece of music this is, the performer?
There is a lot of versions of it, you can check this one, there in description some information :) - ruclips.net/video/Z47FOAUeGY0/видео.html

Ecstatic vibes! Pre-Christian pagan Europe will rise again.
Viskas gerai,tik žydišką Dovydo vardą reiktų pasikeisti į lietuvišką...Nes kokios gi tai lietuviškos vestuvės su žydiškas vardais?
O kas tu toks,dievas,kad kazkam liepti pasikeisti varda?
Also may Frigg smile down on your marriage with divine favour
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Ahh, a purely European affair is always a beautiful sight.
an explanation of the rites and their significance would be nice

But isn't the wedding ring a Judeo-Christian custom
The origin of the wedding ring comes from a Roman belief that that ring finger has a vain that is directly connected to the heart. The wedding rings directly connects your soul with your partner's soul
Short answer: No.
Jaco van der Merwe we have the same belief in hinduism
Paganai
All peoples were once Pagan, but it doesn't make Paganism innocent. People fought, conquered, sacrificed, and forced their way on people long before Christianity. All good things can be used for bad just look at Islam today

It's a new age hooplah
Jean Lauridsen Paganism is so old man... It predates Christianity
toby is trash- Neo-paganism is a new age hooplah,i used to be one of them.
