This day, Sunday, April 27, 2025, the 2nd Sunday in Easter, we worshipped at Kaldbaks Kitrkja.
The drive to church was filled with the Faroe Islands version of waterfalls. After a good rain, water finds its way down through any crevice it can find.
We had a rainbow!
We pulled over quickly to see a glorious waterfall.
Not much further down the road. we arrived at the small, beautiful kitrkja.
Time for worship. Listening to the words both said and sung in Faroese.
Ida Lykke Kannuberg, prestur (pastor) led the service. She preached. I could make out the words – Jesus and Thomas. I knew today’s Gospel was about Thomas and Jesus.
We, well the congregation, sang the many hymns beautifully.
I knew the tune of the last hymn, 205. I could follow, but not pronounce the words, so I hummed along.
Afterwards we spoke with Prestur Ida and told her how wonderful the worship was. It was a real gift to me.
Across the road, a watchful sheep wishing us God speed.

Lovely, rainy, holy day!
(I’m wondering if I would have sat through a service for which I understood only two words. So glad you did.)
