The Orthodox Church of Kajaani had a käspaikka display, and I just had to go. I've been looking at käspaikka pictures online for quite a while now, I love the symbolism and the motifs and the general aesthetic, but I'd never seen one in person.
The word "käspaikka" is Karelian and the literal translation is "hand cloth".
