Jenny's Confirmation in Arendal

In Norway, the State church is Lutheran and the "average Norwegian" gets baptised at birth (before the age of 3 months) and gets Confirmed around age 15. Tim's cousin, Jenny, went through her confirmation classes this last year and had her confirmation ceremony on Saturday 2.may in Barbu Church. It is a very important event and there is usually a gathering of family/friends afterwards. Here are some pics of Jenny's confirmation day in Arendal.
