Exhibition dedicated to Latvian worldview 'dievturi' opens in Riga

An exhibition marking the centenary of the dievturi movement has opened in Riga, commemorating the registration of the first organization in July 1926.

A new exhibition dedicated to the Latvian worldview known as 'dievturi' has opened in Riga. The display marks a significant milestone: exactly 100 years ago, in July 1926, the first dievturi organization was registered in Latvia.

The term 'dievturi' first appeared in public discourse a year earlier, in 1925, denoting adherence to the Latvian worldview and ancient ancestral traditions. The exhibition, held in Riga, invites visitors to explore the history and cultural importance of this movement.
