Hill of Crosses


On Sunday we drove to Lithuania to see the Hill of Crosses. This was started in the 1950's as a memorial. When the Soviets found it they bulldozed it under. The Lithuanians put it back up. This went on three times and finally the Soviets let it stay. Now it is an area people visit and add crosses. There were hundreds of thousands of crosses on the site. The Pope visited the site years ago.
