Description
Poised between East and West, between Orthodox and Catholic, Lithuania, the last of Europe's pagan nations, did not forget its ancient tales such as that of the giantess Neringa, Egl¿ Queen of Serpents, and the Iron Wolf. Rather, they fulfilled and enriched them with legends like the Hill of Crosses and the miracle-working icon of Our Lady of the Gate of the Dawn.
In The Wolf and the Cross, Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick and Dcn. Seraphim Richard Rohlin take a very personal pilgrimage into a land where history and legend have met and fused. Where Orthodox Christians have lived as a minority for nearly seven centuries, their faith founded upon the blood of martyrs and the witness of dozens of saints.
