| Abstract [eng] |
The article examines the introduction of secular rites to replace Christian rites of Baptism, Marriage, and Burial of the Dead in Lithuania. It deals with initial attempts to formulate and popularize these rites, their content, and the obstacles which the Communist Party encountered in promoting their acceptance among the people. It also indicates the measure of popular resistance to these rites and ceremonies by the general population. |
