St. Eugenia Catholic Church in Stockholm, Sweden .
It is very easy to walk by this doorway on Kungsträdgården 12 in the Norrmalm neighbourhood of Stockholm and consider it to be an office building. Not even the small gilded cross suggests that inside is St. Eugenia Church, the oldest Catholic parish in Sweden. The premises which were built in 1887, were gifted to the church in 1962 and the church was consecrated twenty years later.

This reminds me, we used to have a Catholic chapel in the underground shopping mall below one of our downtown high-rise office buildings here in Los Angeles. It was called St. Bernardine Chapel at the Arco Plaza, and daily Mass was offered at noon for the Catholic office workers and shoppers. They had a Catholic bookstore there too. It was there in the 1980s when I did electrical work downtown, but it has since closed 
. These are some old pictures I found online. It was staffed by the Claretian Missionary Fathers from nearby Our Lady of the Angels Church.

That’s the parish I grew up in, as did my parents. It just this year celebrated it’s 100th year as a parish.
Thankfully, there have been no disastrous alterations to the interior of the church and it has retained it’s original beauty. This is actually the third (and last) church on the property. I vividly remember serving the Latin Mass here as a boy.

Actually if you zoom into the 5th photo, you can make out something in white which I think is meant to depict/give an impression/represent a corpus .
I too was thinking of Passiontide as some places veil in Red instead of Purple. And the Rite of Ordination to the Diaconate, I guess would explain the white chasubles (though red = Holy Spirit, may also have been used, but perhaps they didn’t have enough red chasubles for all con-celebrating priests). But as there is also red flowers… perhaps they were permitted just for this rite, or if it was The Mass of the Lords Supper, perhaps??? Though for that particular Mass, I would have thought white flowers, but maybe red to signify the Holy Spirit for the Ordination??

Regarding St Lars in Uppsala, Sweden
It is always red as it is painted on the crucifix. Here is a close up.

That’s strange, seems like vanguardist art mixed with catholicism

It is not a crucifix I would choose if I were in charge of the interior of a Catholic Church. The church building is from 1985 and in a way the crucifix fits into the architecture of that time. I have been there several times and often my eyes turn towards the stained glass window with the first sentence of the Magnificat written in several different languages.
