Happy Sunday #2! The ice church in the ICEHOTEL Jukkasjärvi, Swedish Lapland

            And of course also Happy International Women's Day!

Design by David Andrén, Johan Andrén, Tjåsa Gusfors, Sweden. The artists behind this year’s church wanted their design to celebrate the greatness and complexity of nature. The visitor is led into the church through a thick forest. The path through the room is not clear from the outset and you will have to slow down and perhaps even take a few detours to get to where you want to be. Suddenly, a holy room appears, filled with light and embraced by a peaceful, tall forest. Between the trees, there is lush and vital greenery, ferns slowly unfolding their leaves and a sunflower radiates behind the cere- monial altar. The center of the sunflower strives both clockwise and counter-clockwise, symbolizing eternal love:
“During the design process, we have thought about everything from nature’s smallest elements to the fringes of the universe and the beginning of time.”
