Borská Skalka cross lights up as Easter symbol
The commemoration of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, symbolized by an illuminated cross, is closely tied to the town of Nový Bor in the Česká Lípa region. According to a local historian, the cross shone here even in times before electric lighting—back then, it was arranged from candles. As every year, the cross above the town will remain lit until Easter Monday.
