rukoussalin
Rukoussalin is a Finnish term that translates to "prayer room" or "oratory." It refers to a dedicated space for prayer and religious observance. These spaces can be found in a variety of settings, including churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and other religious institutions. In secular contexts, a rukoussalin might also be a designated quiet area in public places such as hospitals, airports, or universities, intended for individuals to engage in personal prayer or quiet reflection regardless of their specific faith.
The design and furnishings of a rukoussalin can vary widely depending on its purpose and the traditions
