Today I visited a lovely mass commemorating St George’s day earlier this week in a church named after him in Stockholm. It’s a light and modern church built in 1958 in an inner city parish in which it is not the primary Church building, but previously was an own parish before a merger. The choir and a trumpeter performed (picture 2) and after the mass hot dogs, coffee and fika (sweet bread) was served (picture 10) and there was a guided tour of the organ, one of the church and even a play for children depicting the legend of St George (pictures 11,12).

The Church also has a small statue of the Saint slaying the dragon (picture 9)

Many people showed up and the atmosphere was happy. A great way to make the church available to the public and build the local identity within a parish.
