Votive 'Hill of Crosses' (Kryziu Kalnas) at Siauliai
The 'Hill of Crosses' is a place of national pilgrimage
The hillock is covered by thousands of crosses
Some of these are devotional whereas others are memorials (many for people deported to Siberia)
The hillock was originally a fortification
It is believed that the tradition of placing crosses began in the 14th century
During the Soviet era, the crosses were bulldozed at least three times, only to spring up again
