Cross-crafting is a unique folk art inscribed on the UNESCO list of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2001. The tradition of cross-building was deeply rooted in the beliefs of our ancestors and their respect for the spiritual world. The Lithuanians built crosses as early as the XV century to commemorate the dead, express their respect for the spirits, hoping for mercy, seeking to express gratitude for generosity or in search of protection and spiritual peace.
