A church built entirely from ice
LEAD IN:
An ice church has been blessed on a mountain top in Romania.
The religious service united all denominations of Christianity in the country, with worshippers braving snow and fog to visit the icy space.
STORY-LINE:
A church built entirely from ice blocks cut from a frozen lake sits atop a mountain near the Balea Lac resort in the Fagaras mountains, Romania.
Each winter, for almost a decade now, locals build the structure, a process which starts as soon as the cold winter approaches.
When temperature is still well above zero degrees celsius, the waters of the largest glacier lake in the Fagaras mountains are blessed by several priests.
And around New Year when the lake freezes over, builders take blocks of ice from the lake and then use water and snow to cement them together.
Only one man knows where to take the bricks'' from and how to use the chainsaw to cut the pieces that weigh as much as a man.
The bigger the ice bricks are, the longer will take the sun to melt the church.
The structure itself is approximately 6 meters tall, 14 metres long and 7 metres wide and is built according to the plans of a very old church in the county of Sibiu.
Worshippers and priests journey via cable car to the summit, at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, for a religious service to bless the church.
The blessing is performed jointly by priests from all Christian denominations in Romania.
Priests of several religious denominations take part regularly in religious services in the church over the winter.
Michael Regen, of the Evangelical church, says the blessing of the new church is like a baptism.
We are submerged in water now, surrounded by water. We are here to say - let this be a place for us to pray let this be a place where people will come with pleasure.
Father Ioan Crisan of the Greek Catholic Church says it is a place to forget our differences.
The beauty of the place is that it gathers most of the religious denominations and for few moments people forget what they left down in the valley: the fights, the misunderstandings, the contradictory arguments.
The project was initially criticised by the Romanian Orthodox church who said that a place that vanishes after such a short period cannot be blessed, but an Orthodox priest attended the service.
Local man Mircea Codrea quotes Jesus in Matthew's Gospel 'where two or three are gathered in my name, I am their in their midst.
Where there are five people you have a church. So here it is, it's a church, says Codrea.
The ice church, welcomes all believers regardless of their religion and will host a variety of religious events such as weddings and baptising ceremonies until the ice begins to melt, and the weather warms.

Gaylord Texan Ice Sculptor Repairs King Julian
King Julian has broken his finger. Who do you call? Well, if you're a piece of ice then you call the sculptor who created you. I don't know if this is the exact guy, but he's one of the 40 sculptors invited to Texas from China by the Gaylord Texan to create ICE! Merry Madagascar. He didn't speak English so I didn't get to ask any questions. No running commentary either.
