A church built entirely of ice and snow has opened in Bavaria - a hundred years after locals first built a snow church as an act of protest.The church at Mitterfirmiansreut, near the border with the Czech Republic, is more than 20 metres long with an 8 metre steeple and took 1,400 cubic metres (49,000 cubic feet) of snow to complete.The structure was lit up blue with a blessing from local Dean Kajetan Steinbeisser.But when the ancestors of today's villagers built the first snow church in 1911, they were protesting because they didn't have their own church there.
