By the time of the patriot week in Rikava, there was a memorial moment for Latvian freedom fighters and torches. In the village, where people seek the blessing of God, the participants of the event gathered to honor the memory of the Latvian state's freedom fighters.

The light sign Auseklytis was created from the candles, and the songs of Latvian riflemen were singing. Then, with lit torches, they all went to THE grave OF Rikavas, where the dead souls had been mentioned, burn the candles to the memorial, and agreed on a common song.

After dropping the torches, all the members of the procession were able to respect hot tea and pies.
