Ice Church Bans Candles

[Amby 490]

A church made completely from ice in Romania has proved so popular it's had to ban candles to stop it from melting.

Managers of the church in the Carpathian Mountains have been flooded with requests to carry out weddings and baptisms.

So many services were taking place that the candles were burning almost non stop - damaging the church interior.

The 200 sq ft church was built near Balea Lake, 6,673 feet above sea level, by local businessman Arnold Kingleis who has also built a nearby ice hotel.

Inge Florea, spokesman for the ice church, said: "We have been flooded with requests for baptism ceremonies, weddings or other religious events. It's a novelty for people and something special they can look back on."

That would make sense They should look into those electronic fakes, seems like they would have enough events to cover the costs... wait... does this Ice Church have electricity?

What do they put on the floor to keep you from slipping around? Is it all Ice or just most of it?

Sorry, curious minds want to know
