Lithuanian perish rededicates local 'hill of crosses'
|
|
|
On Oct. 27, the community of St. Peter Lithuanian Parish in South Boston rededicated its "hill of crosses," which has now stood for 15 years as a sign of parishioners' prayers, heritage, and enduring faith.
The hill is modeled after the Hill of Crosses in Siauliai, Lithuania. During the Soviet occupation of Lithuania, pilgrims placed crosses on the hill in Siauliai as signs of their resistance to the atheist regime. The Soviets more than once bulldozed the hill to destroy the crosses, but the crosses returned in greater number each time. Lithuania regained its independence in 1991 but the Hill of Crosses has remained, and Pope St. John Paul II visited the site in 1993.
