Visiting a medieval Hattula Holy Cross Church/Hattulan Pyhän ristin kirkko

Please scroll down for English. Kirjailija intoutui tutustumaan Hämeen keskiaikaisiin kirkkoihin ja tässä vieraillaan Hattulan Pyhän ristin kirkossa, jonka seinämaalaukset ovat Suomen laajimmat ja alkuperäisimmät. Kirkkoa esitteli todellinen asiantuntija, Vilppu Vuori, joka paljastui myös vanhoihin soittimiin erikoistuneeksi soitinrakentajaksi, videolla kuultava Ähtävän harppu eli esseharpa on Vilppu Vuoren tekemä. Mikä akustiikka! Hattula on merkittävä paikka myös suomen kielelle: keisari Aleksanteri II ja valtiopäivämies J. V. Snellman tapasivat toisensa Hattulan Parolannummella vuonna 1863. Tapaamisen seurauksena keisari allekirjoitti asetuksen, jonka mukaan suomen kieli tuli yhdenvertaiseksi ruotsin kanssa. Pyhän ristin kirkko on avoinna päivittäin 11.00-17.00. Here's a little tour at The Holy Cross Church in Hattula, Finland, oldest church in the former Tavastia (Häme) province. This church dates back to 15th century and it's built of brick, unusual for the time, and it was a very popular pilgrimage destination during the Middle Ages, also known internationally. Indeed: for example Margharete of Denmark considered Hattula (written in her papers as Hattil) just as worthy as Jerusalem. If you wonder why, the answer is the relic: a piece of Jesus' cross. Russians however attacked the area in 1493 and after that invasion no one has seen the relic. But the church didn't loose its attraction, thanks to the murals which were painted just before reformation reached finland. The murals are well preserved, and Hattula is definitely worth a visit, if you happen to cross by. (This summer there's also an excellent guide, Vilppu Vuori, whose playing a medieval harp in the video - the harp he has built himself! Hattula is also an important place for Finnish language. In Hattula Finnish language became equal to Swedish, thanks to emperor Alexander II who came in 1863 to Hattula and met our statesman Snellman, an avid spokesman for Finnish language. #hattulanpyhänristinkirkko #keskiaikainenkirkko #hattula
