Inauguration and Handover Ceremony of the Painted Coffered Ceiling

A joyful Advent celebration in Ocland!

How can a book be born from an ancient, prophetic painted ceiling? And how can the proceeds from that book be transformed into a new ceiling? Is it still possible today to create something new while following the spirit of the Elekes master ceiling painters of Ocland?

The answer is here!

Thanks to donations from the proceeds of Orsolya Wieber's book, THE PAINTED IMAGE OF COSMIC ORDER – The Prophetic Painted Ceiling Panels of the Unitarian Church in Ocland, and the Harghita County Centre for the Preservation of Traditions' training programme entitled Folk Motifs in Contemporary Use, a new painted coffered ceiling has been created.

The artwork was completed under the guidance of folk artist Tünde Bartos, based on the designs of Unitarian minister Lóránt Tőkés, through the joint work of 25 artisans over several days.

We warmly invite everyone to the festive inauguration and handover ceremony of the new painted coffered ceiling of the Unitarian Congregation of Ocland, held as part of a church service!

The result of long and dedicated work, this new ceiling has become another treasure of our community. Join us and admire the traditional motifs and the craftsmanship together!
