The Grotto has a handful of wayside shrines on its premises. This one is located near the others on the upperlevel of the cliffside sanctuary.
The site's website for the shrines (
visit link) has this brief factotum:
"Lithuanian Wayside Shrine
This Lithuanian Shrine was dedicated in 1963 to those who struggled for the freedom of that country fighting for liberty during World War II. Typical of the ancient practice of wayside shrines in Lithuania it is set in a grove of trees."
The shrine is about 20 feet tall and is entirely made of wood. It has at least two small religious images which are too obscure for the poster of this Waymark to identify.
