Christians take Copenhell headquarters and make it Copenheaven

The Danish Festival Copenhell it was one of the many massive events that was affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Taking advantage of the situation and due to the restrictions and the new normality applied due to them, a group of Christian evangelists have decided to take the fields of the festival and take advantage of them to take mass from their cars.

Copenheaven es el nombre -no muy original- que el grupo le ha dado a su nueva congregación. “Somos el rebaño de Cristo”, dice el líder y pastor Thomas Christensen mientras hace los preparativos cada domingo.

“Ese es el gran lobo malvado. Y yo soy el pastor, protegiendo al rebaño.” he says jokingly as he points to the huge blanket with a wolf's face, which every June is used to receiving thousands of metalheads in the area and now must observe how people receive the teachings of the Bible.

This year, Copenhell was scheduled to take place June 17-20 with bands like Judas priest, Korn, Mercyful Fate and Disturbed. Now, he will have to wait until 2021 to bring hell back to the now heavenly fields of Copenheaven.
