Inari Church

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:39:40

The church on the main street was built in 1952 with American financing. It’s an attractive A-framed structure with a warm wooden feeling inside. The rather beautiful altar painting by Väinö Saikko depicts a Sámi family, complete with tethered reindeer, meeting Christ in the Lapland wildernesses. Inari Sámi and Fell Sámi are spoken in this church; services are usually on Sunday at 2pm.
