Jievaro tiltas

Hello!

Jievaras is the most often mentioned tree in Lithuanian folk songs, especially the harvest songs of the southern regions. This dance originally was a game played during the Advent illustrating the idea of selecting a partner.

Mythological meaning of this dance and song is that every human have to pass the bridge as a part of cycle. Girls here are singing that they want to go to other side of the bridge, because that's were Christmas are coming from - from another side of river. Guys don't want to let them go so they're choosing a partner.

You can do more interpretations of this dance also.

Hope you like the dance!

The Tiltas is still significant in contemporary Lithuanian life as newly wed Husbands carry their brides across to signify the crossing into a new life. I messesd the rating thing again, sorry five stars as ever. Puikiu video ačiu. K
