I've actually been to that place years ago when i was in Lithuania. I took part to a exchange program in our school (of arts and design) and went to Lithuania to study for a while. I really liked that country and the people were the nicest! I'm going back someday.
But i've also heard a story about a man who was very sick. He asked god to heal him, and if god would heal him, the man promised to built a cross in his honour on that hill. And the man got better and better and one day he was all healed. And he buit that cross, and after that came others with crosses. And if you buy a cross (yes, there are lots of people selling crosses for tourists...) and leave it there and make a wish, it might come true. I think that story of a sick man making a wish in a sertain place is pretty universal.
Read more about this beautiful place in "Sacred Sites" (lots of pics in secred sites too) or in wikipedia.
I visited Lithuania a few years ago and made a special trip to see the Hill of Crosses. It is one of the most moving places I've ever been x
ReplyDeleteDid you also study there!!! I was studying at Vilnius University in 2003 and I go back at least every second year. I just love that country so much :)
