Hill of Crosses. Apparently it's more of a faith shrine rather than a cemetery or a memorial. There are some 55,000 plus crosses on a hill in Lithuania somewhere out in the bush from Riga.

  • Jesus.
  • My God, that was impressive.
  • This is strange. It would be exceedingly eerie to be up there late at night in the dark with a thin wind blowing. *shudders
  • That second photo in the first link was sort of like, "Let's build a Jesus so fucking big they'll never be able to get him on a cross."
  • Why does this remind me of that bone monastery?
  • Amazing. Wow.
  • "Let's build a Jesus so fucking big they'll never be able to get him on a cross." I give you The Christ of the Ozarks. No, you're not mistaken, it's hideous.
  • Wow that was at least three different kinds of crazy. All of them leading to no good. But I think bernie's referring to Big Rio Jesus
  • 710 meters? Is that even possible? That would make it almost a half mile tall. That Jesus could shit mct's Jesus. Plus, it is more than double the height of rapper/musician MC 900 Ft. Jesus. I would not be surprised to learn that it was Big Rio Jesus who sent MC 900 Ft. Jesus into an early retirement.
  • I don't know what the big deal is-we got one of those in Alabama.
  • I would like to point out that all crosses are plus crosses.
  • MonkeyFilter: That Jesus could shit mct's Jesus.
  • Oh, Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick! Get over yourselves.
  • I think it was shown on Globe Trekker a while back (a Neil Gibson episode, not the prime Megan or Lavinia ones, but still enjoyable). Link says half a million crosses, though. Creepy as all get-go.
