Saint Nicholas, the Wonderworker - Orthodox Church of Finland

Finnish Orthodox Information about Saint Nicholas

Sites and parishes of the Orthodox Church of Finland

The Orthodox Church of Finland is one of two state-supported churches in Finland, the other being Evangelical Lutheran. Because of its unique position among Orthodox Christian churches in the West as a state church, it is the lone autonomous Orthodox Church to celebrate Pascha ("Easter") according to the Civil/Gregorian calendar used by Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches rather than the Church/Julian calendar. See also the official site of the Finnish Orthodox Church, in English.
