“Instead of wood or bricks and mortar, this chilly house of worship perched among the snowy peaks of Slovakia’s High Tatra Mountains has been built from massive crystal-clear blocks of ice.”
“At 1,285 meters above sea level, the ice replica of Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome is higher than any of Slovakia’s 4,158 churches.”
“I’m glad to see people crossing themselves and praying inside,” says Slovak chief sculptor Adam Bakos.
Slovakia is a country in Europe, just south of Poland, with 6 million people. Most of the people are Catholic. A quarter of a million people came there to see last year’s ice church.
