    Tips

    July 29, 2024

    Do you know why a lantern is a symbol of Cesis? According to the legend, long ago, in medieval times in Cesis lived a man. When the town's people went to bed, he walked all around the streets with his reliable guides – cudgel and an always lustrous lantern – and people knew as long as this man walk through the city streets, the town is safe and peaceful. Belief says that if you someday in some street will meet this man - don't forget to polish the glass of lantern. It's light will always show the right way for your good thoughts, dreams and intentions. Maybe you will even see the future.
