In XIV c. on the top of Birute hill astronomical observations were carried out. The replica of this paleoastronomic observatory was constructed north of Sventoji settlement, not far from Health centre “Energetikas”, and called “Žemaičių alka” (Samogitian sanctuary). It was made by Palanga branch of Samogitians’ culture organization. In June 1998 wooden columns made by folk artists were put up here. Each column corresponds to the names of mythological gods and goddesses of the Balts: Perkūnas (Thunder), Aušrinė (Morning star the Venus), Žemyna (Goddess of Earth Vitality), Austėja (Goddess of Bees), Ondenis (Water God), Patrimpas (God of plants and Spring), Patulas (Linger earth God), Velnias (God of Dead Souls), Leda (Mother of Gods) and heavenly bodies – Saulė (Sun) and Mėnulis (Moon). When the sun goes down to the sea by the help of these columns it is possible to fix calendar holidays, which come from old lithuanian religion. They are: Dew holiday, Stork’s Day, Shrovetide, Christmas etc.

    Hello, thanks for this video!!!! Can I ask you for some information about žemaičių alka an other pagan structures/art/etc? I´m not Lithuanian so it´s difficult for me getting any info or videos… mainly because I don´t speak enough Lithuanian neither Russian, and all I found it´s in those languages, for the most part (well it´s natural, after all)

  16. verdefull Jan 25th 2011
