What You Will Do

The Hill of Crosses in Lithuania is a spectacular and unique site like no other! It is a site of pilgrimage dating back to 1830ties when people started to place crosses here to pray for their loved ones they've lost in the battles (Lithuanian - Polish commonwealth uprising against Russian Empire). In Soviet times this place served as a peaceful protest action against Soviet regime as they tried to destroy the place many times while locals kept coming back and placing more crosses all the time. The Hill of Crosses was visited by Pope John Paul II back in 1993 and since then this place has become very popular - not only between locals but also tourists from all over the world! You're welcome to be a part of this unique growing site by leaving a cross on the hill. You can purchase the cross on the site, bring it with you from your home country or even make one yourself!
