and

"The Thunder Cross is a folklore symbol used as a charm against evil for Latvians"

Wow! Awesome! Beautiful choreography! And - respect for not allowing various swastikophobic idiots ban a millenia-old symbol!

tegyvuoja LIETUVA ir LATVIJA!Kada sita svente cia buvo?

[grigorii220483]

В Латвии день летнего солнцестояния официальный и самый яркий праздник республики. Среди всего латышского культурного наследия танец "Perkon krusts" ("Перунов Крест ") один из самых древних. Название танца связано с именем Бога Perkons (балто-славянский Перкунас-Перун). Другое его имя - "Uguns krusts" ("Огненный Крест")
