The Hill of Crosses

The phenomenon of the Hill of Crosses in northern Lithuania began when people started leaving crosses there hundreds of years ago and continues to this day. These photos of a hill covered in crosses show the amazing sight it has become.


A symbol of religious devotion became an act of defiance during the Soviet era, when communist Russia’s KGB bulldozed the area twice.
