Gods igloo: Germans build Catholic church made of ice

A church built entirely of ice and snow has opened in Bavaria
a century after villagers first built a snow church in an act of
protest. The church at Mitterfirmiansreut, near the Czech border,
is more than 65 feet in length and boasts a tower. Its made up of
some 49,000 cubic feet of snow. The structure was bathed in blue
light as it opened Wednesday evening with a blessing from Dean
Kajetan Steinbeisser.
