    Hill of Crosses (Lithuania)

    August 4, 2024 in Lithuania ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    The Hill of Crosses is exactly as it sounds - a hill of crosses!! Hundreds of thousands of them on a hill in the middle of nowhere in Lithuania.

    People started putting up crosses both as a pilgrimage and as an act of defiance in 1831. There are now hundreds of thousands of them. The pictures and video don't show how many there are.

    It's an interesting story. If you want to know more, here is a link - https://kryziukalnas.lt/?id=44
