NÄÄTÄMÖ AND NEIDEN
Näätämö is a village and border crossing point on the Finnish – Norwegian border, in the Municipality of Inari, Lapland. As the crow flies, the distance from Näätämö to the shores of the Northern Arctic Ocean is approximately 12 kilometres. A place of the same name, officially called Neiden, is also located in the County of Teno, on the Norwegian side of the border.
SAINT GEORGE PRAYER ROOMThe Saint George Prayer Room on the shores of the Näätämäjoki River in Neiden is the westernmost Orthodox church of the northern Arctic Ocean. This has probably been the site of a chapel since the sixteenth century. This chapel is said to have been built by the Monk Tryphon. Today’s prayer room dates back to the early nineteenth century. The prayer room holds mass each year at the end of August to commemorate Tryphon of Pechenga. |
