I made this layout using some pictures I scanned in from the trip I took to Lithuania...and the visit we made to "Kryziu Kalnas" (Hill of Crosses) in Siauliai.
If you read the journaling (which I condensed from a couple of web sites), you would understand why I used it to focus on a prompt (Freedom Day) from Katie the Scrapbook Lady's February class kit.

JOURNALING:
KRYZIU KALNAS
"...is the Lithuanian national pilgrimage center. Standing upon a small hill are
many hundreds of thousands of crosses that represent Christian devotion and
a memorial to Lithuanian national identity. The tradition of placing crosses
dates from around the 14th century and probably first arose as a symbol of
Lithuanian defiance of foreign invaders and has represented the peacful
resistance of Lithuanian Catholicism to oppression. Captured by Germany in
World War II, the city suffered heavy damage when Soviet Russia retook it
at the war's end. From 1944 until Lithuania's independence in 1991, Siauliai
was a part of the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic of the USSR. During
the Soviet era, the pilgrimage to the Hill of Crosses served as a
vital expression of Lithuanian nationalism. The Soviets repeatedly
removed Christian crosses placed on the hill by Lithuanians. Three
times, during 1961, 1973 and 1975, the hill was leveled, the
crosses were burned or turned into scrap metal, and the area was
covered with waste and sewage. Following each of these
desecrations local inhabitants and pilgrims from all over Lithuania
rapidly replaced crosses upon the sacred hill. In 1985, the Hill of
Crosses was finally left in peace. The reputation of the sacred hill
has since spread all over the world and every year it is visited by
many thousands of pilgrims. Pope John Paul II visited the Hill of
Crosses in September of 1993 and even donated a cross as well."
