Saint Nicholas, the Wonderworker - Orthodox Church of Finland

Finnish Orthodox Information about Saint Nicholas

Part of the Saint Nicholas Page honoring Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker

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.
