We walked to the church with our Christian friends and as we were the only visitors there, we had a little praise moment there. One of us played the piano and we sang and prayed there. It was really peaceful time and good start for our holiday time in Saariselkä.

Enontekio Church is one of the most beautiful modern churches in Finland. It's located in the centre of Hetta village. Architect Veikko Larkas designed the present church and it was built in 1952 with help of American Lutherans. The mural on the wall behind the altar was designed by the artist Uuno Eskola. This Lapland themed mosaic work manifests the resurrected Christ blessing the people of Lapland and their daily life.

I was incredibly fortunate to have my snowmobile training guide (from Wilderness Hotel Inari) take me to this beautiful old chuch. This is the only wooden church, which was bulit in 1750, that remains in northern Finland (the remainder were destroyed during WW II). It is in a beautiful setting and would be worth a visit anytime you are in this area!

We were on a day trip to Nellim and this was one of the places we stopped at. Absolutely beautiful church. Interesting history and lots of beautiful paintings and icons to see. Well worth a visit to see for yourself if in the area. So pleased we stopped off here.
