On opposite ends of the Keweenaw Peninsula you'll find two quaint churches, which actually mirror each other in architecture. On the southern end you'll find the Nisula Lutheran Church, backlit and snapped by Z-Man, showing off it's country charm amidst the snow and glow of the morning sun. Heading north to Phoenix, we come across the Church of the Assumption, which has become part of the Keweenaw County Historical Society and has been restored to the way it appeared when folks from another century worshipped there. David Antikainen captured a peaceful shot with a small creek winding it's way around the grounds. Wishing you peace on this Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve
The night was cold and very clear,
As I walked my homeward way;
The stars shone down and added cheer,
And lights in the homes so gay.
I heard the voices of singing,
By the choir of the church nearby;
The bells in the steeple were ringing,
Christmas Day was surely nigh.
The glow on the children's faces,
As they strolled along the street;
Oh, the love that Christmas embraces,
Wherever friends and loved ones meet.
The joy of the Christmas season,
And all that its meaning imparts;
Let us sing Noels with reason,
For Christmas begins in your hearts.

Happy Holidays to near and far. The Copper Country is beautiful this morning with over 30 inches of snow on the ground. This morning the Keweenaw is getting a "fair amount of the white stuff". We love it. Merry Christmas.


By Theresa Colorado on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 12:02 pm:

By Tim, Saint Clair Shores, MI on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 12:31 pm:

Does anyone know the year the Phoenix church was built?

Here's the scoop on the Phoenix church from the
Keweenaw County Historical Society webpage, St. Mary's Church was built in 1858 to serve the Catholic residents in the nearby mining community of Cliff, scene of the area's first major copper discovery in 1844. Services continued until 1899 when the church was dismantled and reassembled in Phoenix, where it was renamed The Church of the Assumption. Masses were held until 1957, when the last service marked a century of providing spiritual guidance to mining families and their descendants.


By Beverly, San Jose on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 12:47 pm:

Merry Christmas Everyone. 'Let there be Peace on Earth and Let it Begin With Me.'
Just received word that a relative was taken hostage in Baghdad by the radical insurgents. The Christian Iraqi people (3% of the population there) are in as much danger as our troops. He is a single, 28 year old business owner, being held for ransom. (Ransom money if paid is then used to fund the insurgents to buy arms to be used against our troops. One vicious circle.


By Kim near Lansing on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 01:02 pm:

Merry Christmas Dad and Cora!!


By Doc and Cy on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 01:13 pm:

By Helen, Spring Lake on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 01:26 pm:

Merry, Merry Christmas, to Bill, Jenny, Liam and Mike. Mother, Grand and Great.


By Therese from just below the bridge on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 01:35 pm:

Beverly, peace be with you! You now have several hundred more people up here praying for your young relative in Iraq. May he come home safely.


By maijaMI on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 02:16 pm:

Peace on Earth!

Merry Christmas to all of the people who bring
us Pasty cam and all of the people who share
their thoughts.

Three more days and my family will be back in
the U.P. Hooray! What a wonderful white
Christmas it will be.


By John P, Florida on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 02:30 pm:

Merry Chistmas to all up there in Nisula. It was a Joy to see the picture of the Church on Pasty.com.

I have fond memories of the Church, especially of the Christmas Eve services which were held there in the early 1950's.


By Lowell MO. on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 02:42 pm:

"Merry Christmas" to all at Pasty.com and to all the Yoopers where ever they may be this Christmas


By B in gb on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 03:41 pm:

Dear Beverly Many prayers are truly with yours today..

Does anyone have more history on the Nisula church? Great gandma and great grandpa rest in that yard..


By ric, WI on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 04:47 pm:

One minor correction: The "Phoenix Church" was actually at CLIFTON, not Cliff...two separate towns....

Have a great Holiday season, everyone!

By walter p tampa on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 11:34 pm:

it was supposed to read to the non irish speakers ect.


By Susan, Fl on Friday, December 24, 2004 - 11:47 pm:

Beverly...so many thoughts and prayers are with you and your family....here and there. Pray for all of our troops every day, but by name those we know of. Our church ususally has 25-30 members over there at any given time. Their names are listed and they are prayed for by our ministers and a large congregation. If you would like to give us his(her) name..first only is fine, if you would rather...would be glad to put it "on our list". In any case, will be praying they come home safely soon. Have a safe and serene Christmas. Merry, merry Christmas to all you other yoopers and yooper wannabees out there! Stay safe and warm!


By Paul and Cora, Webberville Trolls on Saturday, December 25, 2004 - 12:00 am:

Merry Christmas Kim near Lansing and Art. Merry Christmas to everyone as we celebrate His birthday!


By Fran,Ga on Saturday, December 25, 2004 - 12:29 am:

When I was in 7th or 8th grade I used to stay in Phoenix with some friends of mine, Karen and Janice Green. They lived in those little houses by the side of the road. Their Dad was In the C.C. working for the Prosch(sp?) construction co. I met them when they lived in Dollar Bay while their Dad worked installing the new water lines.

I remember going to the little Church on Sundays. I thought it was a pretty. After church we would explore around the area of the house.It seems like you would have to go over a small bridge to get to the houses.I think there was a small river(stream) there. It was a lot of fun. I wish I had paid more attention to what the houses and church were like. Is the Church ever open in the summer time?


By John,mi. on Saturday, December 25, 2004 - 02:54 am:

OK, where's Santa?? I'm getting tired of waiting


By John,mi. on Saturday, December 25, 2004 - 04:17 am:

Santa, where are you? Still waiting ....


By AČ, Sedar Bay on Saturday, December 25, 2004 - 04:54 am:

As a somewhat new Yooper who moved to Sedar Bay from Royal Oak, MI, the end of March 2004, I marvel that people go out and enjoy life despite extreme cold and everyday snow. Christmas Eve as we were returning home from a get-together at my sister's home in Bootjack, the temperature on the car thermometer fluctuated from as low as -30° to a balmy -6°on arrival here in Sedar Bay. I haven't experienced such cold since my winter at Suomi College umpteen years ago. Fortunately I received (from Yooper family) several pairs of wool socks and some warm mittens for Christmas.

Christmas blessings to all our troops and their families, wherever they are. Our prayers go also to Beverly's relative who is a hostage in Iraq. May the New Year bring peace and stability in the region so that our heroic soldiers can return home to family and loved ones as soon as possible.

A merry Christmas to all and best wishes for a blessed and joyous New Year. AČ


By keweenaw gal on Saturday, December 25, 2004 - 09:22 pm:

Beverly, he surely has many prayers.
ric,MI: Cliffton (town) was just shortened to
Cliff.

John, WI: STILL waiting for Santa, huh? Not been
good? (wink)

Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

A/sedarbay, (now CEDAR Bay); a 'neighbor", but??
