Because my mother was a first generation Lithuanian, living in the USA, she tried very hard to be American. She never taught us children Lithuanian. In fact, she never taught us anything Lithuanian. I don't know whether it was a conscious decision, or it just happened. The result is that I am completely clueless about my Lithuanian heritage. So when I hear or see anything Lithuanian, I pay attention.
This past weekend at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, in Ohio, I came across this cross.

There was an explanation that said that this cross was inspired by the Hill of Crosses in Siauliai, Lithuania. This morning, I googled "Hill of Crosses." I am very impressed.
The Soviets couldn't get rid of it. You can't kill Faith.
