Bonjour Angevine.
Merci de m’avoir fait un commentaire que me fais réjouir.
Je te souhaite une agréable journée! Bisous.
Comment by Sartenada — October 5, 2013 @ 08:44 |
How marvellous! Too many of our Gothic Revival churches have very dark, gloomy interiors, but this is bright and airy – and I absolutely adore those stained glass windows – fabulous use of colour – but then I am a fan!
Comment by Anny — October 4, 2013 @ 09:38 |
Hello Anny.
You are right when saying that this church is not dark. Those stained glass windows are telling Finland’s history and the vicinity of Mikkeli.
Have a great day!
Comment by Sartenada — October 5, 2013 @ 08:58 |
I love stained glass windows. Looks like you had the place to yourself, always nice to have that freedom.

Hi Norman.
Thank You for Your visit and kind comment.

Comment by Sartenada — October 5, 2013 @ 09:17 |
Yes, beautiful. I am curious to see the chandeliers lighted. Also, I love the exterior snow shots. What is an organ stop?
Comment by Bondseye — October 4, 2013 @ 13:18 |
Hi Lisa.
Thank You. Well, Organ stop explained in Wikipedia. In Paris in the church of Saint Sulpice there are 102 organ stops. Must be awesome to listen. How I knew this. coincidence, because in today’s local newspaper it was told. Coincidence – yes!
Have a wonderful day!
Comment by Sartenada — October 5, 2013 @ 09:29 |

The craftsmanship is truly overwhelming. I love how well you photographed the stained glass windows.
Great to see the church in its larger context within the town: I like the juxtaposition of gothic and midcentury architectural styles

Beautiful photos! The organ pipes are a work of art – thank you for taking close-ups. I would love to hear it.

Hi Ann.
Thank You. I have heard them and the sound is great. The organist of the Cathedral of Mikkeli is now lately retired. I am glad that You loved my photos.
Happy Sunday!
Comment by Sartenada — October 6, 2013 @ 09:04 |
This is a beautiful cathedral. I like the brick exterior, but the interior is gorgeous. I like the stained glass window and the organ, but the chandeliers are simply stunning.

What a beautiful space! The stained glass windows are so vivid and full of light. The organ must sound spectacular, with all those organ pipes. Thanks for showing me another beautiful sight in your new home town.

Hello Janet.
I am glad that You took a peak at my blog / post. Yet today my “new home town” is quite unknown among tourists. Maybe they someday they’ll find it!
Have a wonderful day!

This is a very beautiful church! But then it is one of Stenbäck’s designs! I love the light inside and the beautiful chandeliers and stained glass paintings. Great photos both from winter and summer time!
Comment by tiny lessons blog — October 9, 2013 @ 19:33 |
Hello Tiny lessons blog.
Thank You. Winter photos are of course from this year, because I wanted to show the difference between summer and winter.
Have a wonderful day!
Comment by Sartenada — October 10, 2013 @ 07:27 |
It was great to see the difference! Both beautiful in their own way.
Comment by tiny lessons blog — October 10, 2013 @ 15:08 |
¡ que iglesia tan magnifica ! (pìenso que su español es mejor que su ìngles). me gusta todo, especialmente las ventanas (‘stained’) y los ladrillos rojos. Gracioso: dijo que es una puebla pequeña con 48-mil habitantes … la ciudad ‘grande’ mas cerca de mì casa tiene mismos!
Comment by betunada — October 9, 2013 @ 20:07 |
Hola Betunada.
Muchas gracias. Pues no lo sé. Hay quarenta y quarto años cuando trabajé en islas Canarias durante cuatro meses y allí aprendi hablar español, pero nunca aprendi escribir. Pero la cosa es así que quero mejorar mi español y eso es possible para hacer blogs.
¡Un saludo grande¡
Comment by Sartenada — October 10, 2013 @ 07:48 |
That is an amazing structure. I particularly love the stained glass windows in these old churches.
