Tamsi naktis

Dark night

A night with little light.

🌍

문화적 배경

The 'dark night' is a central theme in Lithuanian 'dainos' (folk songs), often symbolizing the hardships of history or the sadness of parting. In the winter, the 'tamsi naktis' is a way of life, leading to a culture that values indoor coziness and candle-lighting. Ancient Balts believed that during dark nights, especially around Vėlinės (All Souls' Day), the dead could visit the living. In cities like Vilnius, a truly 'tamsi naktis' is rare due to light pollution, making trips to the countryside specifically for 'dark nights' popular for star-gazers.
