I'm going to visit a very peculiar place, called Hill of Crosses

The Hill of Crosses - Siauliai (Lithuania)


The Hill of Crosses, near Siauliai, is an unforgettable, emotional site.
It is located six miles north of Siauliai on the road to Meskuciai.
Thousands of crosses stand on this sacred spot.
The crosses, with their handwritten messages,
reveal much about the history of the Lithuania people.

All these crosses tell us not only about personal and public misfortunes. They also tell us about success stories, about dreams that came true. In most of the cases, people put their crosses on the hill when they want to express gratitude for the good things that happened in their lifes. Therefore Lithuanians think of the Hill of Crosses as something bright and good.
