| God's Igloo |
A chilling monument to religion has been constructed in Mitterfirmiansreut. The tradition of the
Ice Church goes back to 1911 when local villagers constructed a church of snow as a worship site because they did not have a permanent church in the area. The most recent manifestation of winter worship was intended to be completed in time for Christmas, but global warming dampened construction efforts. "God's Igloo," as it is known locally, is a Catholic place of worship, but a sanctuary of ice seems equally appropriate for Presbyterians, aka "the Frozen Chosen."
