Geocache Description:


[EST]  Eesti Jaakobitee aardeseeria viib avastama palverännuteed Tallinna Toomkirikust Iklani Läti piiril.

Eesti Jaakobitee ehk Camino Estonia (250 km) on osa rahvusvahelisest palverännuteest, mis viib Santiago de Compostela katedraali Loode-Hispaanias, kuhu legendi järgi on maetud Jeesuse jünger, Jaakobus Vanem. Palverännutee kulgeb ühest kihelkonnakirikust teiseni. Just nende ümbrusesse geoaarded peidetud ongi.

1994 a. alustas Hageri kogudus jumalateenistuste pidamisega Saku vennastekoguduse palvemajas. Koguduse töö kasvas 2013 aastaks nii suureks, et 2. veebruaril rajati iseseisev, EELK Saku Toomase kogudus.

Aprillis 2019 alustati Sakus Pähklimäel uue pühakoja ehitust ja detsembris 2020 kolis kogudus vastvalminud Saku Toomase kirikusse. See on esimene päikeseenergiat kasutav kirik Eestis: katuse lõunapoolne külg näeb välja tavaline, kuid on keskkonnasõbralik ja elektrikulude suhtes kokkuhoidev nähtamatu päikesekatus. 2022 aasta sügisel sai kirik ka tornikella. Kiriku ehitus maksis ligi 1,1 miljonit eurot, raha selleks leiti nii Eestist kui välismaalt.

12. veebruar 2023: aare kolis kirikule lähemale.

[ENG] The Camino Estonia cache series takes you to discover the pilgrimage routes from Tallinn Cathedral to Ikla on the Latvian border.

The Camino Estonia is an international pilgrimage route in Estonia, which leads to Santiago de Compostela. It goes from landmark to landmark, from one parish church to another and the surroundings of these churches are hidden some caches.

In 1994 the congregation of Hageri started to hold services in the prayer house of the congregation of Saku. The work of the congregation grew to such an extent by 2013 that an independent congregation was established on 2 February.

In April 2019, the construction of a new sanctuary was started in Pähklimäe in Saku, and in December 2020, the congregation moved to the newly completed Saku ST. Thomas Church. This is the first church in Estonia to use solar energy: the southern side of the roof looks conventional, but is an environmentally friendly and electricity cost-saving invisible solar roof. In autumn 2022, the church also received a bell. The construction of the church cost nearly €1.1 million, money for which was found both in Estonia and abroad.
