This was done July 2, between 1:00 and 3:00 PM. People say that the cross was cut down by Ignatavičius, his son Romas, and a son-in-law.
A couple of days later, two crosses sprang up on the spot.

In a couple of hours, the little shrine was vandalized.
On July 14, in Kapčiamiestis, an Executive Party meeting took place with a representative of the rayon Party participating. During the meeting, activists and auxiliaries were urged to be on guard against any crosses being erected in the district.
Nevertheless, the faithful of Kapčiamiestis, especially the youth and children resolved to protect every cross and to restore immediately those which are demolished.
