Summer services ((フィンランド語:suviseurat), (スウェーデン語:sommarmötet), (ロシア語:Большое Летнее Собрание)) is the annual meeting of the Finnish Lutheran movement known as Conservative Laestadians. In addition to the primary Finnish gathering, similar meetings are arranged in North America, Sweden and Russia. ==Suviseurat in Finland== Summer services (Finnish: Suviseurat) is a large gathering of Laestadians in Finland. The event occurs every year at the end of June. It is organized and hosted by a Finnish Conservative Laestadianism association known as the Suomen rauhanyhdistysten keskusyhdistys (SRK). Summer services are among the most visited Finnish summer festivals and the largest spiritual meeting.〔Suomen ev.lut. kirkko: (Aamenesta öylättiin – lestadiolaisuus ) 〕 Summer services are attended by tens of thousands of visitors from Finland, Russia, Estonia, Sweden, Norway, USA, Canada and many other countries. The number of visitors reaches its peak usually on Saturday night, when the services have 80,000 simultaneous visitors. Summer services take place over the course of four days, usually a Friday through Monday. The program consist mainly of sermons, hymns and songs of Zion. The Summer services areas is about 100 hectares (270 acres). The size of the event requires the need for loudspeakers to carry sermons to all of the listeners. On Saturday Holy Communion is offered and in the evening there is a presentation which is mainly for younger listeners. A gathering for pastors is also held during the Summer services. The Summer Services take place in a different location every year. 2016 summer services in Tornio are 108th in order. Services were held in for the first time in 1906 with Oulu being the host city. Recently, sermons have been broadcast via the Internet into many languages.〔SRK: (SRK SUMMER SERVICES IN MUHOS JUNE 27-30, 2003 - BULLETIN ). 2003〕〔SRK: (The SRK Summer Services ). 2007〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Summer services」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
