Have you ever thought how pure, the white occasion of Christmas would have
been if everything were to be white as snow?! Well then, if you have
not, come to the God’s Igloo, a huge Church built of nothing but snow at
Mitterfirmiansreut. Its hugeness can be described by the fact that it
is 65 feet tall and bags a record quantum of 49,000 cubic feet of snow.
It is a total marvel that has attracted the attention of thousands of
people around. And most remarkably, it has been named, quite
appropriately, God’s Igloo.
The church has a capacity of 200, although the size of the population
that came to visit the church at its inauguration was considerably
huge. Well, the reason for the enchantment was not just the ice, it was
the icy blue color that stole hearts away!
A surprising revelation is in pipeline.
This is not the first time that an ice church is being constructed. One
of the similar sorts had also come into existence way back in 1911. The
motive of the construction was to express protest against the lack of
any church construction in the same region. The local residents had to
tread a distance of 90 minutes on foot to reach the nearest church,
every Sunday morning, for their masses.
This newer version of this marvel, however, does not mean to show any
kind of revolution. The local people around just decided to remember
their lost relatives and
ancestors and pay homage to them. So rebuilding an already thought of
and tested church structure would be the best idea to go for! Ask about
the cost, it is a swirling €100,000. This antique beauty would be there
for tourists to marvel at, till the springs this year. Summers are
being feared to ruin the chilly beauty. But as far as you have taken a
glance of it, you should be happy, because it would be a rare sight to see at many places on the earth.
