Postcrossing meeting in Helsinki

I have received postcard from international Postcrossing meeting held in Helsinki. On this beautiful postcard you can see Uspenski Cathedral in summer evening. Uspenski Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Helsinki, Finland, dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos. Its name comes from the Old Church Slavonic word uspenie, which denotes the Dormition. The Cathedral is set upon a hillside on the Katajanokka peninsula overlooking the city. On the back of the cathedral, there is a plaque commemorating Russian Emperor Alexander II, who was the sovereign of the Grand Duchy of Finland during the cathedral's construction. Uspenski Cathedral is claimed to be the largest orthodox church in Western Europe.

Stamps from Finland are always unique and beautiful! This stamp with comet is from set of six stamps called Signs of the Sky, issued on 08.09.2014. Stamps are designed by Nina Rintala, and printed by Joh. Enschedé Stamps, from Netherlands.

Here you can also see awesome special cancellation for this Postcrossing meeting with famous Inge Löök's old ladies.


Thank you very much Nina!
