HILL OF CROSSES / Šiauliai, Lithuania - 4K HDR with captions

We are at one of Lithuania’s remarkable landmarks—the Hill of Crosses, just outside Šiauliai. This iconic site, with over 100,000 crosses, holds stories of faith, resistance and hope that stretch back to the 19th century. Discover its origins, the resilience of locals during the Soviet era and how it became a global pilgrimage destination after Pope John Paul II's visit.

Afterward, we explore a bit the city of Šiauliai. From the St. Peter and Paul’s Cathedral to the Iron Fox near Lake Talkša we get some quick impressions of a rather non-touristic city.

This is a tour a bit out of the ordinary. Releasing this around Christmas seemed like a fitting time for this short walk around that hill.
