The Hill of Crosses, Kryzių Kalnas





Ok.......I really don't know how to describe this place. Check out this website. http://www.sacredsites.com/europe/lithuania/lithuania.html

Very strange place...both cheesy with the vendors selling plastic and amber rosaries, wooden crosses and whistling wooden birds... surreal with the visiting priests arguing with the one leg beggar breaking the "no begging" rule....yet eerie with the sheer numbers of crosses

You decide.

Vendors .................................................................. Me, the Virgin Mary and mounds of crosses


'No Begging' sign...................................................................... One legged beggar

Star of David and crucifixes............................................................. A pilgrim from Canada
