In ten years, the number of confirmands has almost doubled, according to the report "Confirmation in a time of change" Today, it is more common to confirm oneself in larger cities than in rural areas. On Sunday, the confirmation year ended in Linköping Cathedral, where about 170 young people were present.
The priest Lisa Kjellgren believes that the increased interest in confirming herself is due to the investments they have made. The report was produced by the Church of Sweden's unit for research and analysis.
