Young Danes are questioning a long-standing, religious coming-of-age tradition. Every spring, Christian teens in Denmark dress up and go to church for confirmation. But according to the Church of Denmark, just 64% of young Danes are signed up for the confirmation this year, compared to 70% last year. Instead, some young people are deciding on secular alternatives to partake in the transition to adulthood without confirming their Christian faith. Cost may also be a deciding factor in young people turning away from confirmation, though. Last year, a survey found that Danish parents spent an average of 39K Danish krone, or around €5K, on a confirmation party for their teen. (Euronews)
