The Vejleå Church is considered a masterpiece of contemporary Danish church art. It has been visited by more than 200,000 guests during the last decade. In collaboration with Wohlert Architects, Peter Brandes designed the church's artworks: stained glass, mosaics, baptismal font, organ, silverware, altar, globe, as well as sculptures and crucifix. The many hundreds of reproductions in the book show the stages from the initial sketches to the finished result. Through this unique documentation, together with the essays of three authors, the book endeavors to identify the church's expression and idea, and define why the "actions" of light and reflections make the church a place of pilgrimage.
