God’s Igloo

The building of a Catholic church from ice and snow is a 100 year old tradition in Mitterfirmiansreut, Germany. At that time parishioners request for their own house of worship was denied by the town. Building "God's Igloo" started as a protest to that denial. Have to respect the fact that these believers put some effort into their faith each year.

I guess I'd rather be cold in church than sweating in Hell

@ ggNYC Not sure who the patron saint is, maybe we should check with the nuns who run the place.
I'm Guessing that would be the Sisters of Perpetual Frigidity!!
My Mom always says the church offers her comfort, I'm Guessing this church only offers COLD comfort!
THAT'S IT no more puns! I promise. 😊
