Dear all, enjoy ur snow & ice world in summer..........

The Ice Chapel
This project was first begun on Saturday the 28th of March, 1992. The shape and the size have undergone some changes since then.
The Ice Chapel of today is what it is thanks to Jukkasjärvi snow, and the ice supplied by the Torne River.
The finished chapel is formally handed over to Jukkasjärvi parish during the traditional Christmas service and will be used for church services, christenings and weddings until mid-April.
This temporary structure, the Ice Chapel, will gradually melt away during April and May, and the water will eventually return to the Torne River, thereby completing the cycle. The life span of this chapel is but a blinking of an eye in comparison with the old Jukkasjärvi church which was built over 300 years ago, in 1607.
The idea behind the Ice Chapel is that it should provide a meeting place for those who are visiting the area. It is in some ways quite separate from Jukkasjärvi Church. They each have their own important role to play.
If you would like to know more about the Ice Chapel, or if you would like to book it for a wedding or a christening, please get in touch with Jan-Erik Johansson, the vicar.

It would be a wonderful thing for anyone who has their weddings in the Ice Chapel. With the clean and white snow everwhere, hearts would become brighter.
