significance during the Soviet occupation of Lithuania from 1939 and

demonstrating peaceful resistance against the Soviets and to reaffirm
Lithuanian culture, heritage and religion. The Soviets worked
hard to remove new crosses, and bulldozed the site at least three
times, but even more crosses would appear after the old ones were
removed. Today there are well over 100,000 crosses,
crucifixes and statues on the hill. It has become both a
major pilgrimage site and a tourist site. Item
