kianta > Lutheran Church, Suomussalmi

"Dedicated on August 27, 1950. Designed by Architect J.E. Ermala. About 2/3 of the building costs paid by American Lutherans. There is an Altar Al Secco painting by Mr. Bruno Tuukkanen, picturing some events of Jesus' life on earth, and also a glass painting in the baptismal chapel. A Walker&Co. 24-reg. type organ dates back to 1950. The bells in the belfry are from Kurkijoki parish in Karelia (ceded to the Soviet Union in the peace process). The pulpit and the wood carvings in the pedestal to the baptismal font and also the statue of the apostle by the main entrance are all creations of Mr. Jooseppi Manninen, an artist born in Suomussalmi. The church seats 650 persons."
