Morė
Morė is a traditional figure in Lithuanian folklore, often associated with the end of winter and the arrival of spring. She is typically depicted as a straw doll, symbolizing death and the cold season. During the spring equinox, people would burn or drown the doll in rituals to celebrate the renewal of life and the warming of the earth.
The celebration of Morė is part of the larger cultural practices surrounding the arrival of spring in Lithuania. This event is linked to various customs and festivities, including the celebration of Užgavėnės, which marks the end of winter with feasting and merriment.
