A place of traditions and devotion

The Hill of Crosses - Siauliai (Lithuania)


The Hill of Crosses, where people not only from Lithuania
have put crosses for a couple centuries,
is an expression of a spontaneous religiousness of the people,
and is a symbol not of grief and death but of Faith, Love and Sacrifice.
Each visitor tries to leave a cross or a rosary.
If they have not brought any, they make one right on the hill,
from pebbles, little branches or grass.
People express silent wishes and prayers too.
