Description
Among all other definitions Lilthuania is often described as land of crosses. Lithuanians used to make nice carved crosses and put them next to crossroads or in own yards believing that it will protect people. But the most unique things is the Hill of Crosses. On September 7, 1993, Pope John Paul II visited the Hill of Crosses, declaring it a place for hope, peace, love and sacrifice.
