Is this a cemetary or just a gathering place for crosses? plancarpin - Nov, 03 2008 10:11am Jill, this is not a cemetary..this is more like a gathering place for local people, dating back from the soviet time to express their faith... Soviets removed the crosse at least 3 times during occupation, but new crosses popped again the next day..Pope John Paul II visited the place in 1993. if you want more, here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_of_Crosses jorgesanchez - Nov, 04 2008 05:11am This is a most fantactic place.
