A very unusual cemetery which clearly emphasizes the Pagan and Christian history of Lithuania, as well as some of its important symbols. Lithuania was one of the last countries to accept Christianity, which was in the 15th century. The cemetery belongs to a Catholic church, but you will see Christian symbols often combined with pagan ones like half moons, sun rays (the sun was always worshipped) and snake-like figures.
There is no pen/pencil in the cache please bring your own writing instrument.
