Lithuania, being a Roman Catholic country, celebrates the Epiphany and the coming of the Three Kings on 6 January, rather than the arrival of Father Christmas on 25 December. In Vilnius' Old Town children can enjoy the procession of the Three Kings, who arrive in a golden carriage and throw sweets into the crowd. There is also a live Nativity featuring Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds and, most importantly, the donkey.
