It is true that before the fir-tree burning, the mayor of the Širvintos district municipality, Živilė Pinskuvien año, declared that this year, due to the pandemic situation, the city was forced to postpone another impressive idea to next year.
“This year, the Christmas tree will not be the one that invites Lithuanians to come, because in such a situation investments are directed to the field of health. I say it will be modest, but very beautiful, said the mayor of Širvintos to the portal of Delfi before the fir tree was lit.
“We try to organize 4-5 spaces in the city so that people do not gather in one place. Even if the country – quarantine, we cannot rob people of Christmas.
We have offered lighted spaces where people with families can walk safely. The main focus this year is warmth and comfort. This is the theme of the decoration of the fir tree and the whole city, “revealed Ž. Pinskuvienė.
This year, the Širvintos Christmas tree is 12 m high. The main festive event of the town is in the new square in front of the municipality.
“We know the people who live here, we know what they like. When we think of ideas about what a fir tree should look like, we trust what our people want. After that, there is a lot of discussion about what could have been different, better. what next year. If it weren’t for this pandemic situation, this year would have been another very good idea, but we will keep it for next year, “said the mayor of Širvintos.
The 2020 Christmas tree was lit on November 29, but, as everywhere, without a massive event and with webcasting.
Both last year and the year before, social media broke with praise for the elegant Christmas trees in Širvintos. Last year, the main green curtain shone white, adorned with red toys and curly white trim reminiscent of curls.
The Širvintos fir, one of the most beautiful in the country, received praise from people in both 2018 and 2017.
