Crosses and Girl

There are many hundreds of thousands of crosses on the Hill of
Crosses near Šiauliai, Lithuania. It represents Lithuanian
Catholicism’s peaceful resistance to oppression. Many spirits of
the dead are thought to live here on this small hill. When I visited
this place, a girl in a pink dress ran through as if she brought
peace, hope, and love.
