Sound of Silence - a photo on Flickriver

Sound of Silence

            In the middle of the noise of a modern and busy city like Helsinki is difficult to find a place to find peace and silence to think and connect spiritually. But in the middle of the malls, buildings and shops is a small church called Kamppi Chapel. Is not like any other religious building because the idea is to create an ecumenical place. A refuge where everyone, no matter their belief, can pray or just think.

There are no signs like crosses or something that can relate the place with a particular faith. The idea is that even people without religion can connect with themselves and  escape from the routine and the normal day.
