Tips & Advice
- Arrive early for popular services like Julotta (Christmas morning service) to secure a good seat, as these events often draw large crowds.
- Check the church's calendar for specific timings of each service, as they vary and some may require pre-registration or have limited capacity.
- Consider attending a weekday service or a concert if you prefer a less crowded experience than the main Christmas Day or New Year's Eve events.
- Dress warmly and comfortably, as church interiors can sometimes be cooler in winter, and you may be standing or walking for short periods.
- Engage with the community by participating in the congregational singing and readings during the services to fully immerse yourself in the festive spirit.
