Point of Interest for Arctic Cathedral

Appreciate the Cathedral’s glass mosaic

Appreciate the Cathedral’s glass mosaic

Take some time to look at the beautiful glass pattern on the east wall behind the altar when you go to the Arctic Cathedral. This mural, which was made by Victor Sparre, is one of the biggest in Europe and shows the second coming of Christ. On sunny mornings, the 3 cm thick pieces are almost see-through, but at midnight, the colors are bright and clear. The mosaic is visible from the outside but totally concealed from the inside during the gloomier months. This beautiful piece of art, which was added in 1972, gives the cathedral's peaceful atmosphere a unique, bright touch.
