Contexto cultural
The threshold (slenkstis) is considered a symbolic boundary. Shaking hands over it is a major social error. 'Atvirų durų dienos' are common events for institutions to show transparency and welcome the public. In folklore, a door left open at night might let in 'laumės' (fairies/witches) or bad spirits. Hospitality dictates that you should always open the door to a traveler, a tradition stemming from rural life.
