Welcoming in Christmas day in my time zone

The church was built in the 1940s along with the rest of the town which built up around the military base. It's quite plain, with a double arch baselisk (so I am told) which is quite similar to Italian-style churches.  The bell tower, and war monument underneath, was built seperately to the church, supposedly so the church can be used for other things such as music concerts etc. The church actually has it's own gun-mount out back, around which the flower garden is now arranged!

Anyway, the service was very pretty. The Norwegian language is actually quite lovely to listen to, and the female priest had a very lovely girlish lilting voice. I can't say I had any epiphanies but it did make me wonder if millions of people around the world can be wrong about religious experience. Still, it felt, and sounded, very significant after an hour's service for everyone to fall to complete silence as the bells peeled 12 times to bring in Christmas day. I listened to Christmas arrive to everyone in my time zone...
