The winter of 2010–11 is going down in history as one of the coldest and snowiest on record. The Finns take it in stride, though. They make the most out of it by using the frozen ocean as a winter playground.

 Smoke saunas, preferred by many purists, are hard to maintain and almost disappeared in the late 1900s, but now they’re all the rage again.

All regions of Finland have lakes, but the true Lake District is in the east, where in many areas water covers more than a third of the land.
GOD BLESS FINLAND!

Finnish Independence Day is celebrated on December 6. The day is counted as the country's national day and flag day. This date in 1917, Finland declared its independence from Russia.
Among the recurring festivities on this day is the ecumenical celebration service in Helsinki, which live on TV and other church services around the country, military parade, concerts, parties organized by municipalities, student unions flag trains to the war memorial in the evening, and the president's reception, where the President of Finland receives a large number of known Finn in his residence and even foreign nationals during the year has done something special for Finland. Many Finns lights two candles in their windows at night. Presidential Reception TV is always sent and have high ratings every year.

NOTE

I unsympathetic to this bounce our Church choir suddenly!

Although it is advertised in a long time for celebration of Finland’s Day, the 6th of December and a customary honor gained in many years Westeras Cathedral

 

We want to celebrate Finland’s Day and this is an honor not only for the country but also the common history we have with Sweden, a brotherhood. We love Scandinavia and all its countries, God preserve us from fragmentation and other traditions that do not belong to us. If you see the map of the Nordic countries and the puzzle of hop these countries, appears a lion! A little dreamy and peaceful people, God’s Rich Blessings for many right? BLESS

Scandinavian theme of Day from Finland runs smoothly with Words put in my prayer to God, see below *

All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. “
Matthew 21:22 I AM BLESSED * Ambassadress of Jesus, Birgit in SWEDEN

Jumala Siunaus! Gud välsigne dig! God Bless You!

Loathsome "Pastors Mafia cartel a la 'Westeras"!
