This article was requested by way of a red link from WikiProject Finland, so I've created it with the name as per the link. It could just as well be called just Ristinkirkko, because a) that's its original Finnish name, and there are (AFAIK) no other churches by that name, and b) no previous article exists on WP with that name. On the other hand, I translated the name into English as 'Church of the Cross' merely as a convenience to non-Finnish-speaking readers, but I've just discovered that the Alvar Aalto Foundation uses that name on the English version of their website, so it may have some sort of more 'official' standing (albeit that it's probably the owner of the church who gets the final say on that). Therefore arguably this article could, and perhaps even should, be moved to Church of the Cross, with a redirect from Ristinkirkko. Thoughts, anyone? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:25, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Correction and update to the above: there is a page (primary and disambiguation) for 'Church of the Cross', so that page name is clearly not an option any more, although something like 'Church of the Cross (Lahti)' would be a possibility. For now, I've added Ristinkirkko to the disambiguation page, and also added a redirect to this article from Ristinkirkko (which can be later reversed, if this article eventually gets moved to that name). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:07, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
