Have you Heard of Hill of Crosses in Lithuania? It is one of the tourist destinations in Lithuania and in fact, many were saying that your Lithuanian trip is not complete without visiting it.
It is just a hill full of crosses. At this time it is estimated to be around 300,000 crosses planted on it, plus 1 because I had my contribution, too.
The history of the hill of crosses is simple for rebellion in 1831. The Hill of Crosses was visited also by Pope John Paul II. Most people who are visiting there offer erect their own crosses. This place is quiet serene and peaceful.
Religious or not, Catholic or not it is really a historical place to see as you will see a hill full of different crosses in different sizes and different make. Some metal, concrete, and would you believe lego pieces? Mine is made of shells, mostly were wooden. Pay a visit and you will really see what I mean.
Very interesting, I didn’t know about this place
ohhh It’s in Lithuania and very beautiful. It has a very nice story.
This is such an amazing place! You were lucky to have a chance to go there. It’s great that you had your own cross to put there. It’s nice to travel to faraway places.
Are you saying that you register here just to comment? Thanks .. yeah this is an amazing place
I wanted to see what the site was like. And to reply to your posts because I know they’re interesting.
Awww thanks mother, you are really great and you really trust me.
I googled it. Over the generations, not only crosses and crucifixes, but statues of the Virgin Mary, carvings of Lithuanian patriots and thousands of tiny effigies and rosaries have been brought here by Catholic pilgrims.
Yes, it is full of religious relic. Even Rosaries and amulets with saints.
I’ve never heard this before …. that must be interesting
Thanks for upvoting by the way. A big helpt to a newbie like me
Have never heard of this but sounds like a great place to visit.
Yes, it is in Lithuania, one of famous places there. Very tranquil as I may say.
I’m a friend of this hill but I had a chance to visit – it’s really nice
yes, it was majestic actually. We were in awe and it proves that if people only have a will it can really happen. like what people who are visiting here… putting a cross…
I’d love to visit there and plant my own cross there.
I think most people are doing that. go and visit while it is still there… it was really fascinating
This post should become featured, because it is fantastic.
Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Was it featured?
I do not know if it was featured but it should have been if it wasn’t. Great one
It’s okay, if it’s not. I really appreciate that. after posting these two articles, I did not come back here because I don’t know how this works. until I was reminded by someone again to come back that’s why I am here now.
Wow, that’s amazing. I’d love to visit there and plant my own cross there. It looks lovely.
Thanks for replying this is my first post here and I wondered where my article went.
