Taize - 28

One of the tents from the OYAK, which is the place in Taize where the young people gather at night to play the guitar, drink a soda or just hang arround and meet new people.

" The Taizé Community is an ecumenical Christian monastic order in Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France.

The community was founded in 1940 by Frère Roger (Brother Roger), who remained its leader until his death on August 16, 2005. The ecumenical community is made up of more than a hundred men from many nations representing Protestant and Catholic branches of Christianity. Life in the community focuses on prayer and Christian meditation.

Young people from all over the world visit Taizé each week to join in the community life.

The community, though Western European in origin, seeks to welcome people and traditions from across the globe. This internationalism is reflected by the music and prayers where songs are sung in many languages and increasingly include chants and icons from the Eastern Orthodox tradition. "
