En: Helsingin Tuomiokirkko stood proudly against the summer sky. Fi: Sen valkoinen julkisivu loisti kirkkaassa päivänvalossa. En: Its white facade shone brightly in the daylight. Fi: Oli juhannuksen aika, ja Helsinki oli elossa. En: It was midsummer, and Helsinki was alive. Fi: Kauppatorin kukat tuoksuivat voimakkaasti, ja ihmiset kulkivat kiireesti kaduilla. En: The flowers at Kauppatori smelled strong, and people hurried along the streets. Fi: Eero ja Sari saapuivat kirkolle hymyillen. En: Eero and Sari arrived at the church smiling.
