I mean, in this ceremony the pipe organ it's too noisy, it cover the voices.

@koiny2009 Well the sound of the camera is not perfect....maybe a bit loud in one or two of the verses, but it is also tradition with powerful organ.

What an absolutely magnificent cathedral! Very beautiful. It seems that Lutheranism in Sweden is more high church than in the USA.

A Swedish Church full of people!? Sweden is so atheistic its not funny! Yet, this video gives me hope. I am faving it.

@karpov89 Thanks for the clarification and thank you for taking the time to make this video. I wish more Lutheran Churches in the States embraced their Catholic heritage/past.

In fact, in recent times, I've seen more Lutheran Churches here trying to distant themselves from it. One Lutheran Church near my home remains Lutheran but took the name off of the front.

@tmaclure3 This is not the mass but a vesper but what you say is correct. However if the service is called anything else than the mass - you can say it is abolished. The word 'mass' is still used in the Scandinavian countries.

[tmaclure3]

From the Augsburg Confession - Book of Concord - 1580, which contain the ten statements of faith that Lutherans use as official explanations and summaries of what they believe, teach, and confess. It is the standard of what Lutheranism is.

Article XXIV: Of the Mass.

1] Falsely are our churches accused of abolishing the Mass; for the Mass is retained among 2] us, and celebrated with the highest reverence.
