Latvijas Avīze offers a quiz on Latvian holidays and commemorations
The Latvijas Avīze website la.lv has published a photo quiz ahead of Lāčplēša Day on 11 November. Readers must name the holiday or commemoration shown in each picture.
The website of the Latvian newspaper Latvijas Avīze, la.lv, has published an entertainment quiz about Latvian holidays and commemorative days. It appears as Lāčplēša Day approaches, which is marked in Latvia on 11 November. The quiz tests whether a reader can tell, from a single photograph, what the people pictured are celebrating or commemorating.
How the quiz works
The authors describe it as a photo challenge for Latvians. Each question shows one image, and the participant has to name the relevant holiday or day of remembrance. Answers are chosen from several options. In one question, for example, the choices are Mārtiņi, Miķeļi and Ūsiņi. The quiz contains ten questions in total.

The publication stresses that around Lāčplēša Day, Latvians recall with particular pride their belonging to their land. The day is also used to honour those who stood up for Latvia's independence. The quiz is tied to this theme and invites readers to test their knowledge of traditions and calendar events.
The quiz is available on the Latvijas Avīze website in its "Testi" (quizzes) section. The result is for entertainment only and does not affect any official decisions or events.
