A Moment of Prayer
Friends gather for a moment of prayer in Säkylä, Finland.
Albertina Bärling, the blacksmith’s wife, is on the left. The little boy is Juhani Rosten, the son of a Vimmola House crofter. Gustaf Knuutila reads the Bible as Loviisa Karoliina Kustaantytär Svärd clasps her hands in prayer and Mikko Mikonpoika Mattila listens intently.
