Abstract
One of the main mechanisms that unite people, forms and demonstrates a certain system of values, the difference in the perception of the surrounding world is a celebration, a holiday. They mark the most important milestones of life: personal (birth, marriage, death) and social. Already at the beginning of the 15th century, in the cities and towns of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, a peculiar urban culture began to form. Various ceremonies, processions, rituals dedicated to both secular and church holidays and celebrations become its integral part. In the context of the forced closure of Orthodox churches and monasteries, the spread of Greek Catholic Church, it was the city holiday that became the bridge that united the inhabitants of the city of various confessions and social strata.
