The Hill of Crosses - La Coline des Croix

I came across the Hill of Crosses about 12 km north of Siauliai in Lithuania for the first time in 2018 and I couldn’t help but be impressed by the sight of so many crosses posed together on a small countryside hill with almost nothing else around.

Locals say that the first of these crosses were constructed in the mid 19th century in prayer to God. At that time, people considered this hill to be a sacred place. Others believe that the first crosses were erected in the mid-19th century in memory to those who perished during the rebellions against Tsarist Russia, who occupied the country from 1831 to 1863.

During their occupation, Russia prohibited the installation of any new crosses and demolished all existing ones.

In the spring of 1961 however, the then Soviet authorities decided to have the military destroy the Hill of Crosses with strict orders that the wooden crosses be burnt, the metal ones be scrapped and the stone and concrete ones either be used for road building or be buried.

However, it should be remembered that throughout the period of the Russian occupation of

Lithuania, the Hill of Crosses was always a symbol of unwavering resistance and of an equally unwavering belief in freedom.

Thinking about what is happening in the world at the present time, I wanted to make this book, and so, I went back to Lithuania recently to take more photos of the hill.

There, I could see that people have continued to add crosses, and that the old crosses damaged by time are still there too.

I felt the silent strength of their resistance and of their prayer for peace.

With these sentiments in mind, I made this book.
