altThe exhibition entitled "In Divine Hand" by the Finnish photographer and a member of the Serbian-Finnish Association Saku Pasilahti was opened at the Embassy of Serbia in Helsinki, on November 13. Ten artistic photos of a large format were presented, depicting everyday life and spirituality of Serbian monasteries and churches in the territories of Serbia and Montenegro. The exhibition is open every day till the end of November, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The artist dedicated the exhibition to significant historical events marked this year, such as the centenary of World War I, in which Serbia lost 1.2 million people, and the celebration of 600 years since the founding of the Manasija Monastery. The fresco "Souls of the Righteous in Divine Hand" from the central dome of the main church of the Monastery inspired the artist for the title of the exhibition.
