Amazing. A site of pilgrimage near the city of Šiauliai, in northern Lithuania. The first crosses were placed on the hill in 14th century. Although the Soviets worked hard to remove new crosses, and bulldozed the site at least three times, the new crossess continued to appear and by 1985 the Soviet authorities had given up. After the political change the crosses were counted by enthusiasts from Šiauliai. They found 14,387 big crosses (1,112 from them were 3-4 meters high, 130 even higher) and about 41,000 small crosses (smaller than 0.5 meters). There are more today.

  • Tu video es un hermoso grano de Arena que hace sonreir al Buen D-os, Todos los que amamos a Cristo debemos cubrir el mundo, con nuestro testimonio, de montañas de Arena. Un abrazo!

    Your video is a beautiful grain of sand that is amusing enough to Good Gd, All who love Christ we cover the world with our testimony, mountains of sand. Un abrazo!

  • En España ya debemos y de una vez, ir pensando en exaltar la Cruz de una manera ostensible, por dentro y por fuera.

  • @abeleveh Translation: [ ? ]

    In Spain already and once we go thinking exalt the Cross in a conspicuous, inside and out.

  • pretty darn amazing.

    I love that the communist bulldozed it several times and they still planted their crosses.

    Good for the Lithuanians!

    God bless them!

  • Lithuania was a part of the Soviet Union, but not anymore. Lithuanians are not even Slavic, their language is one of the most 'Conservative' Indo-European languages.
