Summary / Abstract:

ENThe Hill of Crosses is not only a religious object but also a symbol of national and religious freedom. This symbolism started as a result of historical, religious and political events and that proves an initial premise about the identity of the Hill of Crosses with its unique historical origin and still lasting pilgrimages with different folk devotional practices, prayers, hymns and music. The study aims to justify this assumption.
