Thursday 21.3 at 6pm at Arkadia: Vespers, an Evening Prayer (with Tolkienian Themes) held by Rev. Petri Tikka
Dear friend of Arkadia,
You are invited to Vespers, an Evening Prayer (with Tolkienian Themes)
held by Rev. Petri Tikka and conductor Kari Tikka
on Thursday 21.3 at 6pm at Arkadia (Nervanderinkatu 11)
The prayer will be in English, Quenya and Finnish
You are most welcome.
Warm regards,
Vespers is an ancient Christian prayer with an especial emphasis on Mary, the mother of God (that is, Jesus Christ). The author and linguist J.R.R. Tolkien was a devout Christian and held Mary close to his heart. The Marian feast of the Annunciation and Tolkien reading day fast approaching, it is appropriate to celebrate both of them with a Vespers that incorporates some Tolkienian ideas, texts and languages.
