Vilnius and Kaunas light Christmas trees

Vilnius Mayor Remigijus Šimašius pressed the button illuminating the tree on the Cathedral Square on Friday night, in the presence of some 3,000 people. The tree, decorated with windows, reminds of a fairy tale house and is said to symbolize the meeting point between the private world and the external world.
