A hill with an abundance of crosses: small crosses from a religious supply store next to the parking lot up to human-sized statues, often a very good piece of art.

There is a lot of traffic, mainly Lithuanians – judging by the cars – but also a lot of Latvians – Šiauliai is a short distance from the Lithuanian-Latvian border.

I saw about three buses with Asians, I think Chinese, but I don’t have these languages ​​in my portfolio yet, so I don’t know. Interesting how they perceive the place?

Actually, maybe like everyone, including me – a pleasant religious excursion place where, apart from crosses, there is no significant church landmark. A few hundred meters behind the hill is a men’s monastery, where they certainly also have a church, but it was not accessible. The whole thing has a kind of folk, do-it-yourself style, spontaneous and non-violent feel.

I can imagine a certain creepiness of the place. It probably comes from a certain mini-horror that I experienced here, when I wanted to give priority to a mother and daughter in the wider aisle between the crosses, and took the narrower aisle. It was blind, however, and so narrow that simply facing backwards was not so trivial due to the sheet metal protruding from some of the crosses. It seemed that the forest of crosses… and from here, anyone with a taste for horror can develop their own script.
