Stogastulpis (plural - Stogastulpiai) or Roofed Pillar/Roofed Pole is a traditional Lithuanian wooden shrine. The name, stogastulpis, is made from two Lithuanian words - stogas, which means roof, and stulpas, which means pole. The roofed pillars may have anywhere between one and three layers of stylized roofs. Roofed pillars can be simple, or richly decorated.[1] Nowadays the most common ornamentation are a distinctive blend of Christian symbolism and traditional solar, celestial, and nature motifs.[2][3][4] Stogastulpiai, together with Lithuanian crosses, are common throughout Lithuania, and can be found in churchyards, village/town squares, cemeteries, farms, parks, in fields and woods, at cross-roads, and as wayside shrines.
