#ChristmasinVilnius

On January 6, traditional Three Kings procession takes place in Vilnius. The procession closes the Christmas season in Vilnius.

The procession starts at The Gate of Dawn in the late afternoon when it starting to get dark. It proceeds on Ausros Vartu str, Didzioj str. and Pilies str. and it's final point is at Christamas Tree on The Cathedral Square. 

Three Kings and Angels are followed by thousands of people many of which speak Russian, what could mean that in such way the Russian Orthodox are starting their Chrismas Season because on Orthodox Christam Eve is on January 6.
