450 km north of the Arctic circle

This spring I was invited to spend Easter in Kautokeino Saami village (north of Finland on Norwegian side, 450km north of the Arctic circle). For the Saami people the Easter is a high time with a famous Easter festival: weddings, Saami song contest, reindeer racing world cup, open air scooter-drive-in cinema, scooter race and I'll report what else. We are will be gathering with a bunch of youthful believers with Saami background (excluding myself) to celebrate resurrection in culturally relevant places and ways.  Looking forward to seeing the diversity and colorfullness of the  Northern life.

I'm slightly jealous! I was in Kautokeino some years ago and loved it there. I was also offered a job once in Rovaneimi, so I could almost have been an adopted Finn by now...if I'd taken the job. Hope the trip goes well Niina. Looking forward to reading your posts about it.
