In a sparsely populated corner of Lithuania sits a hill that is adorned with an estimated over 150,000 crosses, as well as statues, rosaries, cards to loved ones, carvings, and more.

(While this site isn’t a graveyard, I’ll give it a pass since it’s so epic… and hey, I run this site; I can do whatever I want!)

The exact origin is unknown, but over the last 170 years or so this site has become a pilgrimage for Lithuania Catholics. While the Soviets, and others, have repeatedly tried to remove it (bulldozers and all), the resilient people of Lithuania have rebuilt it over and over again in a show of strength and endurance. To say the least, this is an incredible place to visit and I was completely blown away.
