The painting of the altar of a Romanian church in the Episcopacy of Northern Europe is nearing completiontranslated

Painting works in the altar of the Romanian church in Borås, Sweden, have progressed recently and are nearing completion. The project is carried out with the support of the Department for Romanians everywhere.

According to the parish, the work aims both to beautify the liturgical space and to strengthen the role of the church as a spiritual and cultural link of Romanians in western Sweden.

The project "Altar painting of the Olsfors - Borås church" takes place between February 1 and November 30, 2026 and is financed by the Department for Romanians Everywhere with the amount of 400,000 lei.

The place of worship has gone through an extensive restoration process, which included a complete change of the roof, repair and painting of the facade, repair and painting of the access doors, railings, access stairs, plinth, as well as the restoration of the windows dating from 1916.

The church in Borås was purchased at the end of 2024 and was consecrated in 2025. It is protected by the Icon of the Mother of God "Unforseen Flower", the Cathedral of the Holy Archangels and the Cathedral of the Transylvanian Hierarchs.

The parish is pastored by Father Andrei Hoha.
