The world’s nethermost Christian church, a Church of St. Nicholas the Wonder-worker, will be built on Franz Joseph Land, a Russian archipelago.
The place for the construction of the future church has been blessed by Bishop Tikhon of Arkhangelsk and Kholmogory during his pastoral trip to the archipelago, the Orthodoxy in the Northern Land internet newspapers has reported on Tuesday. The returned air trip to the islands from Arkhangelsk via Vorkuta took 18 hours. The newspaper notes that it was for the first time that a Russian Orthodox bishop has visited Franz Joseph Land. It is planned to erect a statue of St. Nicholas next to the church. The future church will give an opportunity for worship to frontier guards and meteorologists on watch in the Utmost North.
