Interior of Uspenski Cathedral, the main Finnish orthodox church.
Finnish orthodox church is one of the two state religions although only about 1% of the people belong to it. It was part of the Russian orthodox church till 1923 but today there is a clear separation. For example, Russians living in Helsinki are planning to build their own church here that wouldn’t be part of the Finnish orthodox church.
For Finnish orthodox, Easter is the most important event of the year.
This is a lovely picture inside the church.
What a magnificent interior!
Happy Easter!
